The Law Society has criticised government proposals to limit business migration which could complicate international recruitment for UK law firms. As part of a wider review of UK immigration policy, the Government is currently considering ending the automatic right for migrants holding Tier 2 visas to apply for permanent residency after living and working in the UK for five years. The Law Society has said that these plans could negatively affect the competitiveness of UK business, as many large City firms rely on the expertise of skilled migrant workers from outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
