L-1 Visas and Complex Investor Cases — Canary Wharf
Situated steps from the major US financial institutions in Canary Wharf, our Docklands office is the base for our L-1 Intracompany Transfer team and handles our most complex investor visa cases. Clients requiring E-2 or EB-5 advice typically meet our UK lawyers at the City of London office near Liverpool Street or at the Institute of Directors in the West-End.
L-1 Intracompany Transfer Visa Lawyers
Our Canary Wharf office is home to our specialist L-1 Intracompany Transfer Visa team. We work extensively with US financial institutions and multinational corporations based in the Docklands who need to transfer senior executives, managers, and specialised knowledge workers between the UK and the United States.
- L-1A Visa — for managers and executives transferring to a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate in the US.
- L-1B Visa — for employees with specialised knowledge of the company's products, services, research, or procedures.
Complex Investor Visa Cases
The Docklands office also handles our most complex investor visa matters for clients who require dedicated case management. Our team works closely with the City of London office on E-2 Treaty Trader Visas and EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visas where the investment structures or business plans require additional scrutiny.
Grenada Citizenship by Investment
Davies & Associates is the only law firm in London authorised by the Government of Grenada to advise on and process applications for Grenadian Citizenship by Investment. A Grenadian passport unlocks visa-free access to over 140 countries and opens the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa to nationalities without a bilateral US treaty.
