Jurga McCluskey

Spear’s Review

‘High-net-worth individuals are usually cash-rich but time-poor, so they are very keen to have the right strategy as to how they can move around the world while looking after their business affairs without too many complications,’ says Jurga McCluskey, head of UK immigration at Deloitte.

McCluskey works closely with Deloitte’s tax and accountancy teams to provide integrated immigration and wealth planning advice to global HNWs, many of whom hail from the Middle East, China, India, Africa and Kazakhstan. But it’s not all about business: ‘Most of my clients think about their children more than themselves,’ she said.

She worked at Fragomen, Kingsley Napley, Gherson and PwC before joining Deloitte as a partner and head of department in 2015. In this capacity McCluskey leads the firm’s team of 170 immigration experts in the UK and thousands of immigration professionals globally.
