SUMMARY:WEB 3030 Mergers and Acquisitions (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:We will explore issues that arise when companies with complex structures apply for Skilled Worker and Intra-Company routes sponsor licences.\n\n\nLevel: Intermediate – Advanced \nCourse Type: Overview \nDescription: \nWe will explore issues that arise when companies with complex structures apply for Skilled Worker and Intra-Company routes sponsor licences. \nThe high level of recent merger\, acquisition and restructuring activity in the UK means practitioners are frequently being asked to advise on the immigration and right to work aspects of corporate transactions. Where one or more of the entities involved has a sponsor licence\, this will often consist of reviewing the current sponsor licence arrangements\, advising on the appropriate arrangement post-transaction and then taking the necessary steps to ensure that the appropriate entity is able to continue to employ its sponsored workers. This may involve either making a notification to the Home Office or submitting an application for a new licence. If the transaction involves staff transferring between entities\, this can also involve right to work issues. \nPractitioners are also frequently required to have an understanding of the types of structures that international companies employ and advise on whether these structures mean that these businesses can transfer their overseas employees to the UK under the Intra-Company routes (including Global Business Mobility – Senior or Specialist Worker and Graduate Trainee). \nThe course will explore issues that arise when companies with complex structures apply for Skilled Worker and Intra-Company routes sponsor licences. It will consider the steps that need to be taken when a company that holds a Skilled Worker sponsor licence is involved in a corporate transaction. Finally\, it will look at the right to work issues that arise from corporate transactions. \nTopics: \n• Initial sponsor licence applications\, with a focus on Skilled Worker and Intra-Company routes licences; \n• Adding new UK and overseas group entities to a sponsor licence; \n• Qualifying types of corporate group structures for the Intra-Company routes; \n• Recognising and dealing with common change of ownership scenarios; \n• Worked examples of the steps that practitioners should take when notifying the Home Office when a sponsor licence holder is involved in a corporate transaction; and \n• Right to work and due diligence issues which arise as a result of corporate transactions. \nBy the end of this course you will gain an understanding of the requirements relating to qualifying linked entities for the purposes of senior specialist worker licences\, be able to identify relevant changes to corporate structures as well as understand the appropriate action to be taken in respect of such changes. \nAudience: \nThis session is aimed at practitioners who have existing knowledge of sponsor licence applications and are looking to broaden their understanding of corporate structures and the steps that need to be taken from an immigration standpoint before\, during and after the completion of a corporate transaction. \n\n\nTutors: Ilda de Sousa\, Partner and Vandana Ruda\, Associate at Kingsley Napley. \nIlda de Sousa is a partner in the immigration team at Kingsley Napley.

SUMMARY:WEB 3029 New Appendix Long Residence
DESCRIPTION:This course will explore the changes introduced by the new Appendix Long Residence to the Immigration Rules from 11 April 2024.\n\n\nLevel: Intermediate-Advanced \nCourse Type: Practical/Overview/Update \nDescription: \nThis course will explore the changes introduced by the new Appendix Long Residence to the Immigration Rules from 11 April 2024. \nWe will examine the scope of each of the requirements and identify\, insofar as possible\, the material differences between the current and previous provisions and their application. We will closely consider the transitional provisions\, including the application of the different absence requirements. \nILPA\, with the tutors’ assistance\, provided comments on earlier iterations of changes to Appendix Long Residence and Appendix Continuous Residence to the Simplification of the Rules Taskforce\, and can walk attendees through the Home Office’s stated policy intention behind several Rule changes. \nWe will specify potential areas of ambiguity in the construction of the new rules and consider how to best approach those in the absence of authoritative guidance by the courts and in light of guidance published by the Home Office for its caseworkers. \nWe will examine practical matters\, case studies\, and attempt to make sense out of what appears to be not simply a cosmetic restructuring\, but a substantive overhaul of the long residence category. \nThis course is intended to bring practitioners up to speed following the introduction of Appendix Long Residence in the Statement of Changes (HC 590). \nThe course will not cover paragraph 39E or provisions in Appendix Continuous Residence that are irrelevant to long residence applications. That will be covered in a separate seminar\, scheduled for 13 May 2024. \nAudience: Immigration practitioners (paralegals\, OISC\, solicitors\, barristers) \n\n\nTutors: Zoe Bantleman\, Barrister and Legal Director at ILPA and Alex Papasotiriou of Richmond Chambers. \nZoe Bantleman is a barrister\, the Legal Director of the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA)\, and an editor of the Journal of Immigration\, Asylum and Nationality Law. \nHer practice as a barrister covered a wide spectrum of advisory work\, drafting and advocacy involving all aspects of UK immigration\, nationality and asylum law.

She regularly challenged decisions by preparing appeals for human rights and asylum claims and applications for administrative and judicial review. \nShe frequently writes about changes to the UK’s immigration law system and provides commentary on key cases\, including on Hoque & Ors and Akinola. She is a contributing author to both Practical Law and LexisNexis. Zoe has previously taught ILPA webinars on 10 Years’ Continuous Lawful Residence\, How to Prepare Fresh Asylum and Human Rights Claims\, and Section 3C\, Validation\, Variation and Withdrawal of Applications. \nAlex Papasotiriou is an immigration barrister at Richmond Chambers.
