Please add any upcoming events you think may be of interest to WILL members. Reform of investor immigration into the UK
Date: 7 November 2014
Time: 9.30am - 11.00am (registration from 9.00am)
Location: 5 Chancery Lane, Clifford's Inn, London, EC4A 1BL
Price: Free
Overseas investors and their families have been able to establish themselves in the UK since 1994. The essence of the investor route has survived fairly unchanged until now with the investment immigration route becoming even more popular over the last few years. In February 2014, the Migration Advisory Committee produced a report proposing reforms to the route and providing alternative ways for investment. The first significant changes are set to come into force this month.
Attend this breakfast session and you will receive a crash course on the investor route. Two senior guests from the Home Office Migration Policy department will be attending the seminar to provide an insight into the new requirements for investors.
We will also share our experience on tricky questions and what you should be aware of when assisting foreign investors in planning their relocation to the UK up until applying for their first UK passport.
Registration for the seminar will be from 9.00am with the seminar starting at 9.30am and finishing at 11.00am.
If you would like to attend you can register here .
If you have a colleague that would like to attend, or you have any questions please contact me at Natasha.Hotson@lewissilkin.com
We look forward to seeing you on the 7 November.

Common wisdom says one or more of these attributes are a prerequisite for professional success, yet many women are uncomfortable with these labels. From their varied perspectives, our moderator and panelists will address the role of ambition in their own success and in the success of the more junior lawyers with whom they have interacted. They will also discuss the role of risk-taking in one's career trajectory; how to communicate ambition in the face of unconscious bias and in double-bind predicaments; and the existence of generational differences in the way women view their professional goals.

This will be followed by a practical section, with case studies and discussion of immigration options under the current rules, aiming to provide practical guidance to American and other foreign lawyers and professionals who have found themselves in the UK because of a job, looking for a job, looking to start their own practice, or simply following their hearts.
