(Next Generation Partners)One of the core strengths of Kingsley Napley LLP‘s immigration practice is its ability to leverage the resources of the firm’s broad offering, with human rights, appeals, and overstay matters being run out of the firm’s international protection group, and the business immigration team calling upon related offerings in real estate and private client. Nicolas Rollason heads the ‘very large‘ practice, and has ‘exceptional knowledge and experience.’ Key contacts for business immigration are Ilda De Sousa, Marcia Longson, and Kim Vowden, who advise the practice’s client base of major financial bodies and multinational companies. They are also noted for their work in relation to human rights, appeals, and overstays, where they work alongside the ‘outstanding‘ Katie Newbury and associate Oliver Oldman, who head up much of the firm’s specialist immigration private client work.
