Gudeon & McFadden was a pioneering American law firm specializing exclusively in US immigration and nationality law, recognized as London’s first legal practice dedicated solely to this field. Founded in 1978, the firm distinguished itself through decades of focused expertise in complex visa, green card, and citizenship matters for both corporate and individual clients.
The firm served a diverse clientele ranging from major corporations in energy, technology, finance, consultancy, media, and entertainment to small- and medium-sized enterprises and families seeking relocation to the United States. Their approach combined deep regulatory knowledge with practical solutions for challenging cases, including waivers for criminal convictions, immigration violations, and specialized advice for same- and opposite-sex marriage cases.
