How prepared is your organisation to relocate talent in today’s evolving global landscape?
Join our team of International Business Immigration experts on Thursday 12 February 2026 for an engaging in-person session.
In an era of heightened compliance scrutiny and evolving immigration frameworks, successful talent mobility requires an understanding of more than just visa applications. This comprehensive session will equip you with the strategic insights and practical tools needed to navigate the complex interconnection of immigration law, employment and HR legal issues, and global mobility management.
Our experts will explore the latest UK business immigration changes and compliance requirements in light of recent enforcement actions. They will also take an in-depth look at employment law issues that are particularly relevant when relocating talent internationally. Our team will also be joined by AIRINC, a global mobility solutions provider, that helps companies manage and optimise the deployment of talent across borders. Mike Wincott, Senior Director of Client Solutions, EMEA at AIRINC will share expert guidance on the principles of talent mobility management and walk attendees through proven strategies for optimising international workforce deployment.
The event will conclude with a comparative panel discussion on cross-border business immigration and mobility processes, examining trends, developments, and key differences from international perspectives, including Germany, Poland, Sweden and the UK.
We hope you can join us!
