Our partnership with nQ Legal means we are ideally-placed to provide holistic legal advice across all aspects of a tour or one-off engagement. We have also advised on a number of Global Talent cases in the sector, notably for emerging artists in the soul and Afrobeat genres.
Tech & Fintech
We monitor and understand immigration policy impacting fast-growth tech and fintech businesses, which is typically characterised by challenges such as the need to attract international talent, relocate for development and set up new offices and arms of the business globally. Our team can give expert advice on applications for a Global Talent or Innovator Visa, family and leadership team relocation, sponsor licensing and more.
