SPONSOR LICENCE
Key Personnel Advice
About Key Personnel Advice
Every sponsor licence is held together by its key personnel: the Authorising Officer, Level 1 user, Level 2 user where appointed, and Key Contact. The Home Office expects these people to be suitable, properly trained and based in the UK in most cases. Changes have to be reported promptly. RakLAW Solicitors advise sponsors on choosing the right people for each role, replacing key personnel cleanly when staff move on, and making sure responsibilities are properly understood so that the licence does not quietly drift into non-compliance.
Who this is for
- Sponsors changing directors or senior managers
- HR teams managing licence user access
- Businesses appointing first-time key personnel
- Sponsors after acquisitions or restructures
How RakLAW helps
- Advise on suitability of proposed key personnel
- Update the Home Office on personnel changes
