WEB 3130 ILPA Sponsorship Law Conference (In-person)

We are delighted to invite you to ILPA’s annual Sponsorship Law Conference, our flagship annual event for immigration professionals navigating the UK's evolving immigration sponsorship law and policy landscape.

This year’s conference comes at a pivotal moment, in light of significant changes to the UK’s visa sponsorship framework, UK Visas and Immigration's ('UKVI's) changing sponsor compliance expectations, and the publication of the UK Government's Immigration White Paper in May 2025.

With sweeping reforms announced in the White Paper now beginning to take effect—including higher skill and salary thresholds for Skilled Worker and Global Business Mobility route applicants, the closure of the Care Worker and Senior Care Worker routes to new overseas applicants, and stricter sponsor compliance requirements—this is an essential opportunity to hear what's happening and what to expect next from experts in this area.

We are thrilled to welcome back our brilliant Co-Chairs:

• Nichola Carter, Partner at Carter Thomas Solicitors
• Nicolette Bostock, Partner at Withers LLP

We are also pleased to be joined once again by senior representatives from UKVI:

• Adam Lee, Work Services Operations Lead
• James Turner, Head of Work Services

Alongside them, a panel of leading immigration practitioners will share observations, insights and practical guidance on navigating changing sponsorship law and policy.

The full programme will be announced shortly. In the meantime, we encourage you to book now to secure your place—this promises to be one of our most timely and impactful conferences yet.
