Immigration and Employment Lawyers
The series of political upheavals in North Africa in February 2011 may lead to an increase opportunity for immigration lawyers and solicitors in UK to represent those seeking to flee the troubled region for a better life. The area of the Maghreb, Libya and Egypt are at a crossroads as their people look for a better standard of living and with over 6.5 million people in Libya, 10 million in Tunisia and about 80 million in Egypt the area could see an increase in immigration activity over the coming years.
Immigration law does vary from country to country, although EU member states allow an ease of travel between each member states. Certain countries may implement stricter laws which regulate both the right of entry and internal rights, such as the duration of stay as determined by individual Visa's, for example German government applies a stricter interpretation of EU employment laws than does the UK government. Most countries have immigration laws and can include the process of naturalisation, by which immigrants may become citizens of that country.
With the freedom of movement of labour within the EU, it may be useful to understand if employments rights in one country are applicable in another. Many immigrants move to major cities such as London to find work and employment lawyers in London are often recipients of diverse work related issues. People tend to seek professional advice from employment lawyers especially when discrimination in the workplace based on gender or race is evident.

Her lawyers Leigh Day & Co successfully proved, she had been unfairly dismissed by the BBC because of her age and not been given further writing work on Countryfile magazine as "an act of victimisation" which resulted from "annoyance as to the allegations that (O'Reilly) was making". The 53 year old had worked with the broadcaster for 8 years as a freelance presenter on their Countryfile show but was dismissed when the program moved from an early Sunday time to prime time viewing on the Sunday. Employment lawyers can offer professional advice on employment that is based on a body of laws, administrative rulings and precedents that relates to the legal rights of, and restrictions on, employers and their employees.
