LDI partners Natasha Chell and Christi Hufford Jackson recently joined the Counsel Without Borders podcast to discuss the increasingly complex and volatile immigration landscape in the US and the UK. Drawing on their respective specialisms of UK and US immigration law, Natasha and Christi discuss a wide variety of issues including:

• navigating a fast-moving immigration landscape in the UK and US, and how to stay ahead of change
• whether visa systems on both sides of the Atlantic require reform
• the growing risks of turning to generative AI for immigration advice
• why immigration and global mobility should be considered from the outset of an M&A deal
• how applying for a visa differs in practice between the UK and US
• the tougher enforcement climate facing individuals and businesses in both countries
• shifting patterns in settlement and citizenship
• where media coverage of immigration can fall short

This contribution reflects LDI’s continued public engagement with the key issues shaping immigration law and practice on both sides of the Atlantic.
