Reduced Visa Processing Times, Immigration Due Diligence During an M&A and Introduction of HPI Visas – Issues facing Senior Executives and Employers

In this recording, Jonathan A. Grode, Practice Director and Managing Partner at Green and Spiegel LLC (US), and Natasha Chell, Partner and Head of Risk and Compliance at Laura Devine Immigration (UK), explore developments in US and UK immigration that have occurred since the 3rd IFSEA International Conference on Risk, Reward and Reputation Management Issues for Senior Executives & Founders in June 2022.

Watch the video or listen to the podcast here.

In particular, Jonathan and Natasha discuss:

• The reduction in processing times for US and UK visas and the positive impact on firms and senior executives.

• What procedures will employers and employees need to follow to ensure immigration due diligence is maintained during a merger and/acquisition?

• The introduction of the High Potential Individual (HPI) visa in the UK and the reasons that we have not seen the expected uptake in visas of this kind. 

This recording follows the Immigration lunchtime pop-up session during the 3rd IFSEA International Conference on Risk, Reward and Reputation Management Issues for Senior Executives & Founders, which took place in London on 14 June 2022.
