Since joining Richmond Chambers, Georgina has developed a strong practice in business immigration, with particular expertise in sponsor licence applications and compliance. She regularly advises organisations across a range of sectors on securing, maintaining and renewing Sponsor Licences, as well as meeting their ongoing compliance and reporting duties. Georgina assists businesses with navigating complex sponsor guidance, responding to compliance visits, addressing compliance breaches, and challenging suspension and revocation decisions.

A significant proportion of Georgina’s work involves supporting employers to sponsor overseas workers under the Skilled Worker and Global Business Mobility routes, including Senior or Specialist Worker and UK Expansion Worker categories. She also advises on Minister of Religion applications and provides strategic guidance to businesses seeking to recruit talent from overseas.

In addition to sponsor licence work, Georgina advises on a broad range of business immigration routes, including Innovator Founder (endorsement and immigration applications), Global Talent (with particular experience in Tech Nation endorsement applications), and extension applications under the Representative of an Overseas Business, Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) and Tier 1 (Investor) routes.

Alongside her business immigration practice, Georgina maintains experience in personal immigration matters, including Appendix FM partner applications, adult dependent relative applications, EEA applications and human rights claims.

Georgina has represented clients in human rights and EEA appeals before the First-tier Tribunal and has successfully challenged unlawful decisions by way of pre-action protocol correspondence and judicial review.

Prior to joining Richmond Chambers, Georgina worked at the Government Legal Department, where she advised Home Office caseworkers on the merits of judicial review claims arising from immigration decisions. This role gave her detailed insight into Home Office decision-making processes and judicial review procedures. She previously worked for UK Visas and Immigration as a litigation caseworker and was involved in high-profile immigration litigation, including cases arising from the BBC documentary Panorama: Britain’s Immigration Secrets.

Georgina regularly writes on developments in UK immigration law and publishes commentary on Richmond Chambers’ website.

“I was working with Georgina, Lucy, and Annie in getting a sponsorship license for my company over the past couple of months. My experience working with them was amazing, they were very professional, responsive, and accessible, and everything was laid out in clear detail. All of my queries were quickly cleared up.

They are impeccable in their service, even the smallest of details were picked up. The sponsorship license was granted on the first try, along with my work visa. I am really happy with the service they provided and couldn’t recommend them enough. I am especially thankful to Georgina and her team.”

Skilled Worker sponsor licence for a start-up and subsequent immigration application granted. 

“I had a very complex case. I used Richmond Chambers for both my ILR and naturalisation applications. Thankfully, both applications were successful. The team led by Georgina and including Annie and Daria were very professional and prompt throughout my journey. The quality of work and material produced was exceptional as they are barristers which makes a huge difference.

The application experience can be very intense, however I was very fortunate to work with Georgina and the team as they made the experience very smooth.

Georgina was very attentive and swift in all matters, having an eye for details and explaining all legal jargon in a user-friendly manner. She takes the extra mile to deliver and clearly has an in-depth understanding of the latest regulations and is very analytical. She made the experience very comfortable, you need someone like Georgina for such applications!”

Skilled Worker ILR and British citizenship applications granted.

“From the moment we were connected with Daria and Miss Georgina Griggs, were felt so reassured and supported. We had an especially complicated and nightmare-ish situation on our hands, but Georgina made it possible not only to salvage our current application (saving us over €3000 euros in error-related fees!) but also to get an SUCCESSFUL spousal visa in a matter of weeks. She caught mistakes and details that we would NEVER have been able to find on our own.

We are over-the-moon – it’s our dream to move to the UK, and so we could not be more grateful to Georgina in her amazing efforts. Even with our nonstop questions and complex situation, she was able to advise us with grace and kindness.”

“I highly recommend Richmond chambers, my experience had been too good… GEORGINA is excellence at par, a Perfectionist, finding the smallest mistakes, working with passion, response to query’s even while on leave, one can chose this team blindly without giving a second thoughts.”

“We worked with Richmond Chambers barrister Georgina Griggs to secure a U.K. visa for my fiancé, and would absolutely recommend her. Georgina was responsive, helpful, friendly, experienced, and very much on top of our application for the nine months we worked with her. While the experience by nature is stressful, we knew we were in good hands with Georgina.”
