About Ian MacDonald
My colleagues and I are working to redefine the practice of immigration law. As companies navigate the uncharted territories of the global economy, we provide the highest levels of service and unparalleled legal quality. Every day, I work with global companies, helping them manage the mobility of their highly skilled workers into and out of markets around the world, and assist them work through a range of issues, including immigration, international employment, transferability of benefits, employment contracts, among others. My approach to immigration services is simple: impeccable client service, quality legal product and achieving cost efficiency for clients.I have always been passionate about the fields of global mobility and immigration. I relate personally to the challenges they represent, because I myself am a first-generation immigrant to America and a second-generation immigration attorney. My greatest passion outside my work is Premier League football (or, as the citizens of my new country call it, soccer). I grew up in London, just one block from the Arsenal stadium, and have been an avid fan my entire life. My wife and I have two young children, and we love traveling and exposing them to the languages and foods of other cultures.
