Tensions between UK immigration, employment, and corporate law exist due to the different objectives and considerations of each area which can be a minefield for businesses as well as Start-Ups. This article provides an overview of each area of the law as a reminder of the aims of these laws and then explores the intersectional impact between the three areas, with a focus on how UK immigration law can have a significant impact on corporate and employment law.
UK immigration law
The key focus is to govern the entry, stay and rights of foreign nationals in the United Kingdom. It aims to set out the rules and regulations in relation to visas, working permissions, asylum, citizenship, and deportation. The primary legislation regulating immigration in the UK is the Immigration Act 1971, supplemented by subsequent amendments and regulations. The Home Office and its agencies such as UK Visas and Immigration are responsible for the administration of immigration law and processing applications.
Corporate law
This area of law deals with the formation, operation and governance of companies and entities. It encompasses a wide range of legal matters in relation to business organisations, including company formation, corporate governance, shareholder rights, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and insolvency. In the UK the Companies Act 2006 is the primary legislation governing corporate law providing a comprehensive framework for company formation, management, and regulation.
