Spear’s Review

Marcia Longdon is a partner in the immigration team at Kingsley Napley, where she deals with a large number of clients from the US, among other countries.

Charming and eminently approachable, Longdon’s clients include entertainers who have projects in the UK and the odd oversleeping rock star with an upcoming international tour, taking a wide view of their affairs to anticipate their requirements. With such high-profile clients, she is experienced in discretion, having been known to arrange meetings between celebrities and immigration officers on private planes to avoid public airport sightings.

Longdon is a fellow of the American Bar Association and frequently speaks at conferences and events for American law firms. Where Kingsley Napley does not have staff on hand with the specialisms a client needs, she provides a system the firm refers to as ‘signposting’, presenting them with a list of approved possible candidates.
