Real Results...

Talk to our legal team and find out how we make global mobility a reality.

Every time a client receives their residency or citizenship approval, we’re reminded why this work matters. It's not just paperwork — it’s about transforming lives and creating new legacies.

Tamer Ulay CEO

We don’t push clients towards just any programme — we listen, we assess, and we recommend only what we’d choose ourselves. That’s what makes Coates Global different.

Celemet Yener Senior Advisor

I’ve seen families reunited, children enrolling in world-class schools, and entrepreneurs unlocking international markets. That’s the power of what we do.

Christine Philips Senior Advisor

Even in the most complex of cases, there’s always a path forward — it just takes clarity, strategy, and the right team. That’s what we bring to every client.

Garth Coates Senior Advisor

Helping high-net-worth clients gain citizenship is more than a transaction. It’s about long-term security, mobility, and legacy planning — and we ensure it's done with precision.

Dr. Frederick Ellul Regional Director

Being part of this team means being part of something bigger — we open borders, but more importantly, we open futures.

Nataliya Konyk Senior Lawyer

When a client tells me, ‘You’ve changed my family’s life,’ I know our commitment goes far beyond legal expertise — it’s about people.

Sue Ulay Senior Consultant

With every investor we support, we’re contributing to a stronger, more interconnected world. It’s an honour to play that role.

Christos Leonida Regional Director

The World is rising, and our clients are part of that story. We ensure they have access to the global opportunities they deserve.

Iyiola Ojo Regional Director

As an American lawyer working globally, I’ve seen how Coates Global turns complex ambitions into concrete achievements.

Jasmin Singh Regional Director

Looking Ahead

As the landscape of global mobility evolves, Coates Global remains at the forefront—adapting, anticipating, and innovating. Our unwavering mission is to continue providing the highest standard of legal consultancy while helping our clients realise their global ambitions with clarity, confidence, and trust.
