As UK employers know only too well, immigration does not stand still, and keeping up can be a challenge. The Home Office published sweeping changes to business and top talent routes on 15 March and with another systematic period of change commencing in April, organizations are rightly asking what they should expect, and how they can be ready to adapt to the changing landscape. Newland Chase will introduce you to the changes, discuss their impact on hiring and mobility programs, and explore the opportunities they give businesses to benefit. Our immigration experts will walk you through the launch of the Global Business Mobility route, and how it differs from existing immigration routes into the UK; the new High Potential Individual route and what changes it will bring; the ‘elite’ Scale-Up scheme; and lesser-publicized amendments and the scope of their impact.

Late last year, the European Council adopted the Revised EU Blue Card Directive with the intent to streamline and harmonize the current EU Blue Card infrastructure throughout the region. Although long heralded as a premier EU immigration option to attract highly-skilled non-EU nationals, the program has faced frequent criticism for being overly complicated, having inconsistent regulations and, in some cases, providing only limited advantages compared to national work and residence authorization schemes. In a rare, one-of-a-kind session, Silvio Grieco, Legal and Policy Officer at the European Commission joins Newland Chase’s immigration specialists Raquel Gomez Salas and Ben Sookia to provide employers with an overview of the new EU Blue Card Directive and explain how employers can deploy European-specific recruitment strategies.
