We are living in a world where there is an increasing pressure to travel freely between country frontiers, and opportunities for those who are able to take advantage of developing markets and economies which often use the UK and London in particular as their international springboard.
For individuals coming to the UK for the first time and for those already in the UK, RadcliffesLeBrasseur can provide practical advice on immigration procedures such as obtaining entry clearance and work permits, domicile and residence issues, the tax implications of moving to the UK, and other property considerations.
Our immigration group comprises a team of one Partner and two Assistants with experience of helping clients from all over the world and in particular USA, Australia and South Africa. With the increasing globalisation of the marketplace, this is a valuable service to our corporate and private clients, who value our experienced and practical approach.
