Katie Longmate

Spear’s Review

Katie Longmate was named as one of Spear’s Rising Stars in 2017. After working at Alexiou Fisher Philipps (now AFP Bloom) for over a decade, she joined Russell-Cooke in early 2024. ‘It’s been a really brilliant move for me,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘I feel energised for the next stage of my career in a really exciting team.’

Longmate advises across the full spectrum of family law but has developed a strong practice in international child relocation cases and those involving arrangements for children. Clients range from HNW professionals and international entrepreneurs to families of inherited wealth seeking to protect their position pre- or post-marriage, often by way of arbitration.

Clients have praised her assistance in ‘extremely emotional’ times, offering a service that combines ‘skill and professionalism’ with a ‘considerable but determined’ approach to seeing matters through to resolution.
