Nadine is the Managing Partner of Fragomen’s UK practice and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee, which oversees the global operations and strategic direction of the firm. She is based in our London office and has almost 20 years’ experience in UK immigration law.

Nadine is considered an international authority on investment immigration solution globally and her practice focuses on advising clients in this regard. She works with high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, third party advisors in the private wealth industry and governments on investment migration. She was instrumental in establishing the Fragomen Private Client Practice, which provides immigration advice and strategies to private clients globally.

Nadine is a regular speaker and panelist at various events on investment migration around the world. She is also regularly invited to comment in the press on the subject and she is on the board of the Investment Migration Council.

She also has extensive experience advising on all aspects of UK and EU immigration law. Nadine represents some of the world’s largest companies specifically in the financial services industry across the EMEA region. She has experience providing strategic advice to companies on the establishment and maintenance of their immigration compliance and transactional programmes and the immigration implications of corporate restructuring across the EMEA region.

Nadine works closely with Fragomen’s government liaison team, which allows her to provide up-to-date information on changes to laws and corporate compliance best practices. She sits on various policy and consultancy panels to develop and refine immigration policies and has represented businesses in lobbying exercises.

Nadine was one of the architects of the Fragomen Tier 5 International Internship Programme, a pioneering scheme under Tier 5 of the PBS that sponsors non-EEA interns to facilitate their employment with UK employers. She is also skilled in representing high net worth individuals including Tier 1 (Investors) and Tier 1 (Entrepreneurs), particularly from China and India.

Prior to joining Fragomen, Nadine was a solicitor at a UK-based niche immigration law firm where she focused on both personal and corporate immigration law, EU free movement rights law, human rights law and public law litigation, including Judicial Review.

In May 2022, Nadine was highly commended for the "Law Firm Leader of the Year" category at law.com’s Women, Influence & Power in Law UK Awards 2022. The awards honour top female lawyers who have made a significant difference in the legal profession during the past year, stand out as working well with others and show exemplary leadership skills.
