Question 1

What makes Fragomen the world's largest immigration law firm and what does that mean for UK clients?

Accepted Answer

Fragomen has offices in 60+ countries and manages immigration matters for the majority of Fortune 500 companies globally. For UK corporate clients, this means a single provider can manage inbound immigration (overseas workers coming to the UK), outbound immigration (UK workers relocating abroad), and global mobility programmes across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. The firm's scale also means direct relationships with UKVI, Home Office, and embassy contacts that smaller firms cannot match. Fragomen London is the UK headquarters for this global capability.

Question 2

How does Fragomen handle UK sponsor licence management for large employers?

Accepted Answer

Large UK employers with significant international workforces need ongoing sponsor licence management rather than one-off applications. This includes: maintaining the sponsor management system (SMS), monitoring sponsored workers' compliance, renewing sponsor licences, responding to UKVI audit requests, and managing Certificate of Sponsorship allocation. Fragomen's London team provides full sponsor licence management as a retained service — effectively acting as an outsourced global mobility team for HR departments. This is the primary reason Fortune 500 companies use Fragomen for UK immigration.

Question 3

Can Fragomen handle Skilled Worker visas for individual employees, not just corporate programmes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though Fragomen's typical client is an employer rather than an individual applicant. Individual Skilled Worker applications are handled as part of broader employer engagements — the employing company is usually the primary client, and Fragomen assists that company's sponsored workers through the visa process. If you are an individual seeking immigration advice independently (i.e., not through your employer), you may find a boutique or mid-size firm more suited to your needs and budget than Fragomen's corporate service model.
