A Client
Emma is a senior associate (FCILEx) who joined Kingsley Napley in 2012, and has worked in immigration since 2010.
Emma has extensive experience of assisting businesses with their UK immigration matters. She has a particular focus on sponsor compliance, including providing bespoke training to clients on all aspects of their sponsor duties.
Emma supports businesses of all sizes, working closely with them to ensure their processes meet UKVI’s requirements. She works with large established sponsors to spot check their existing procedures, and with small businesses looking to implement new processes before embarking on sponsorship for the first time.
Emma frequently collaborates with her colleagues in the employment team to prepare joint advice for clients with challenging decisions at the intersection of immigration and employment law. Joint work has included:
- Providing an advice note for a business that could no longer meet the minimum salary threshold for sponsoring workers, addressing the various immigration strategies available to them and the employment law impacts of each option
- Advising an employer and their sponsored worker on each party’s duties and relevant timelines at the end of sponsorship, with a view to facilitating the worker’s stay in the UK as far as possible
Prior to joining Kingsley Napley in 2012, Emma started her immigration career at a small immigration consultancy. She studied modern languages at the University of Birmingham and is a Fellow of CILEx.
