Fladgate—Kelly Whiter

The immigration team at international firm Fladgate LLP has received a boost in the form of new hire Kelly Whiter. She joins the firm as partner after six years at PwC, where she was head of the private client immigration team. Kelly therefore brings a wealth of experience working with high net worth clients on myriad immigration issues.

Kelly’s arrival in December of last year marks the continuation of a steady period of growth for the firm, which laterally hired three additional partners throughout 2017, and five in the year prior. Commenting on Kelly’s hiring, Fladgate's chairman Charles Wander said: ‘Our focus on strategic growth continues with this appointment and we are delighted to welcome Kelly to Fladgate. She is widely recognised as a rising star in the immigration field and her enthusiasm and reputation will add to our growing capability in this area.’

Kelly added: ‘Given the synergies that exist between my own practice and that of Fladgate coupled with their ambitious plans for future growth, this move presents a great platform and an exciting opportunity for me to further develop Fladgate’s private client immigration offering.’
