Corporate Restructuring Due Diligence

Organisational restructuring via a merger, an acquisition, or the incorporation of a subsidiary may affect the status of foreign employees.

Effective due diligence is required to determine whether these employees’ work eligibility has changed, and whether their employers are potentially in breach of the law and exposed to severe civil and criminal penalties.

In addition to implementing effective strategies to ensure that your employees’ work permits are up to date, BCF’s immigration team will evaluate all the legal requirements with which you must comply. We will then design the appropriate short, medium and long-term strategies to address the mobility issues raised in restructuring your business. BCF will help reduce the time you spend worrying about immigration formalities, and maximise the time you can spend focusing on building your business.
