Kingsley Napley—Kelly Greig & Abbie West-Kelsey

Firm strengthens international tax team with partner and tax manager hire

Kingsley Napley has appointed Kelly Greig as a partner in its international tax team, alongside the arrival of Abbie West-Kelsey as tax manager. The duo join as the firm continues to develop its international tax desk within the private client team, following the appointment of Paul Davidoff in September.

Greig (pictured) joins from Blick Rothenberg and is a dual qualified chartered tax adviser and tax lawyer with nearly 20 years’ experience advising internationally mobile HNW clients. She specialises in UK/US tax rules, frequently acts as an expert witness and lectures on international management of family wealth. She also sits on the advisory board of the International Tax Planning Association and previously served as worldwide chair of STEP.

West-Kelsey, who also joins from Blick Rothenberg, is a specialist tax accountant with a focus on succession planning for HNW clients, advising on the protection of wealth across generations and jurisdictions.

James Ward, head of private client, said: ‘Kelly is a legend in the world of international taxation and will bring significant knowledge, great connections and positive energy to our team… They will be working closely with Paul and other team members to support our international HNW and family office clients.’
