Fragomen

DLA Piper and Fragomen are joint knowledge and legal content partners. Fragomen is a global leader in immigration and workforce mobility strategies, supporting organisations operating in delivery-critical, highly regulated sectors including space, aerospace, energy, defence and critical infrastructure. We advise organisations where talent availability, mobility restrictions and regulatory compliance directly affect operational continuity, supply-chain resilience, and long-term delivery. With nearly 6,000 professionals across 70+ offices worldwide, Fragomen enables seamless workforce deployment in more than 170 countries, helping organisations move at speed while managing risk. Our work in the space sector focuses on strategic workforce planning, skills pipeline development, and cross-border deployment for security-sensitive and project-driven roles. We combine legal, operational and policy insight to help clients address skills shortages, design future-proof workforce models and maintain compliance across complex international programmes. Fragomen is closely aligned with UK government and industrial strategy priorities and has directly contributed evidence cited in the House of Lords report on the UK Space Economy, informing debate on talent pipelines, mobility barriers, and workforce resilience. We regularly engage with government departments, industry bodies, and sector forums to help shape policy and translate regulatory change into practical guidance for industry. Innovation underpins our approach. Fragomen’s technology-enabled solutions, data analytics and AI-supported modelling allow clients to anticipate workforce risk, forecast disruption, and support executive decision-making in fast-moving and uncertain environments. We work collaboratively to deliver integrated solutions where workforce risk is a critical factor for growth, resilience, and national capabilities.
