Home Services Immigration Immigration services for US citizens

Our immigration team has a long history of providing specialist UK immigration advice to US businesses and US citizens.

Alongside our corporate and commercial and employment law colleagues, we regularly assist US based corporate clients with establishing a UK presence and transferring staff to the UK.

Our UK Expansion team supports US business looking to open their first presence in the UK and to transfer key staff to start the UK operations. We can assist with obtaining a UK Expansion Worker sponsor licence and with transferring the first employees. We provide full end-to-end support to US clients through our dedicated Immigration, Employment, Corporate and Real Estate professionals.

We act for numerous US headquartered firms with existing operations in the UK, helping them transfer staff to their UK offices and to sponsor other non-UK staff to work here and help their business grow.

For private individuals based in the US, including artists, performers, film and TV talent, tech specialists, architects, financial services professionals, entrepreneurs and HNW individuals, we can advise on the most appropriate route to move to the UK. We have deep expertise across all of the main UK immigration routes including Global Talent, High Potential Individual, Innovator Founder and applying as the partner of a British citizen or UK permanent resident.

Key members of our team are members of the American Immigration Lawyers' Association (AILA) and the American Bar Association (ABA) (for example, Marcia Longdon is a Human Rights & Immigration committee member with the Employment and Labor Section of the ABA).
