Kathryn Bradbury
Spear’s Review
Regarded within the profession as one of London’s top immigration lawyers, Kathryn Bradbury, head of citizenship and immigration at Payne Hicks Beach, advises HNW clients across the field of migration law – including on UK immigration and citizenship, EU free movement and family-based applications.
She is used to working closely with family offices and wealth management organisations in making applications under the business categories of the UK immigration rules. She also advises clients based in the Middle East, India, Turkey and the US, in addition to individuals within the arts and media industry, financial services and the technology sector.
She represents clients in both the first-tier and upper tribunals, often successfully challenging the rigidity of UK immigration rules.
Adviser Profile
Kathryn is Head of Citizenship & Immigration at PHB and a member of the Management Board. She has worked in the immigration field exclusively since 2001 and practises in the broad spectrum of UK immigration and nationality law. She is regarded in the industry as a leading immigration lawyer in her specialist field of law.
Kathryn advises high-net-worth individuals in applications under all categories of the UK immigration rules. Her experience includes applications under the rules relating to partners, and children, including adoption and surrogacy. She also acts in complex human rights applications and represents clients in a broad range of appeals to the First-tier (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) and Upper Tribunal.
