Fladgate, a top 100 UK law firm, is pleased to announce the appointment of Kate Troup, a leading financial services lawyer with 20 years of industry experience, as a new Partner within the firm’s Funds, Finance and Regulation (FFR) practice. Fladgate’s FFR team now consists of nine Partners who provide comprehensive advisory and transactional services to lenders, borrowers and new entrants in the market.


Kate joins Fladgate from Charles Russell Speechlys, where she worked for over 11 years as a Partner in the firm’s Financial Services team. Before joining Charles Russell Speechlys in 2010, Kate spent eight years as a solicitor at Farrer & Co, where she began her career. Kate specialises in the investment management and private banking sectors, advising UK and international firms that wish to provide investment and banking services in the UK market.


Ella Leonard, Head of FFR at Fladgate, commented: “Kate’s arrival at Fladgate is great news for the whole team, facilitating the continuing development of our highly differentiated legal services for clients seeking advice on funds, finance and regulation. It furthers our efforts to build out and cultivate a breadth of carefully shaped services for both business and private clients that have fast-moving, complex challenges, requiring a mix of solutions delivered with genuinely personal service from their lawyers.”

Commenting on her new role, Kate Troup, said: “I am hugely excited about joining Fladgate. I love the firm’s ethos and I feel like there is a great fit between my practice and that of the wider firm. I will be able to provide valuable regulatory advice to Fladgate’s existing clients, while those who instruct me for regulatory work will benefit from the wide range of advice and services offered by the other Partners of the firm.”
