Sponsor Licence Revocation Support
Safeguard your business operations and protect your sponsored workforce. Our elite corporate immigration team provides urgent, expert legal representation to challenge wrongful Sponsor License revocations, preserving your ability to employ global talent.
A revocation has immediate and devastating consequences: it cancels any Certificate of Sponsorship and normally results in sponsored workers’ permission being curtailed to 60 days (or less if their visa expires sooner). It also prohibits the company from hiring any new talent from overseas.
Revocations are typically the result of a Home Office compliance audit where significant breaches of sponsor duties are identified.
Once a license is revoked, the business is often subject to a mandatory 12-month cooling-off period before it can even consider re-applying.
For businesses that depend on international talent, a revocation can be a critical threat to their operations.
Challenging an unfair or unlawful revocation decision is therefore a matter of business survival. With expert guidance, navigating compliance disputes and protecting your workforce becomes possible.

There is no statutory right of appeal. The only way to challenge a revocation is through Judicial Review, which is a legal process to determine if the Home Office's decision was lawful.
Following a revocation, there is a mandatory 12-month cooling-off period before you can re-apply for a license. Our goal in a legal challenge is to have the revocation overturned entirely, avoiding this period.
Yes, but you will need to demonstrate that you have fixed all the issues that led to the revocation. The application will be subject to extreme scrutiny.
The process can take several months. However, the initial pre-action protocol stage can sometimes result in a quick withdrawal of the decision by the Home Office.
