A very warm welcome to the network and I am delighted to share our first newsletter with you. Thank you to all those who have contributed.
We established the IILN in August 2024 with the intention of creating a best-in-class network of international immigration advisers. In an increasingly global world, clients require holistic immigration advice which enables them to compare and contrast the advantages of various immigration systems around the world. The rationale for creating a network of immigration advisers is therefore, at its heart, to better serve our clients and ensure they receive quality of advice in the jurisdictions they may seek to relocate to. In addition to this, knowledge sharing and creating long-lasting relationships between members are also key cornerstones of the network.
We currently have 24 individual members spanning 15 countries. The IILN is based on trusted partners and we believe that your involvement will add significant value to the group, as well as access to a network of high-calibre immigration professionals with experience of dealing with a similar international client base. As you are aware, the IILN is entirely without exclusivity.
Fran Rance, who has been integral in getting this network off the ground, is now on maternity leave and my colleagues Stephanie Dare and Jade Churchill will be coordinating the group with me in her absence.
I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter, and please do get in touch with any suggestions for future content.
