Spear’s Review

Ben Xu, an associate partner, leads the immigration practice at US law firm Armstrong Teasdale, which entered the London market in 2021. 

Xu, who previously led the immigration team as senior associate at Irwin Mitchell, has more than 10 years’ experience in dealing with UK immigration and nationality matters, particularly those with complex personal and business immigration issues. 

He acts for multinational corporations, international families, professionals and sportspeople, as well as executives, EU nationals and individuals with human rights claims.

Prior to this work, Xu practised corporate and commercial law. ‘I find that my experience as a corporate lawyer gives me a deeper level of understanding of the issues in hand when advising corporate and executive clients, and allows me to provide more rounded solutions,’ he says.
