Managing Partner Laura Devine writes for The Law Society Gazette

21 January 2022

In an article for The Law Society Gazette, titled “Two years of tumult and ‘triumphs’“, Managing Partner Laura Devine reflects on the ups and downs of UK immigration as a result of COVID-19, Brexit and the new points-based system (‘PBS’). The article explores the collapse and recovery of visa applications among non-EU workers, as well as the less clear-cut situation with regard to EU migration. Laura also takes a look at the Home Office’s “ambitious” plans to launch new migration routes and reform the sponsorship system. You can read the article here.
