Christine Philips brings over four decades of experience in immigration and nationality matters, with a distinguished career focused primarily on British naturalisation and second citizenship law. At Coates Global, Christine serves as a senior advisor, contributing to strategic case planning and supporting clients on complex naturalisation and dual citizenship applications.
Immigration success isn’t just about meeting legal thresholds — it’s about understanding ambition, opportunity, and the nuances of global systems.
Before her involvement with Coates Global, Christine worked extensively with BAME community organisations in the UK, offering support and legal guidance to migrants and refugees from diverse backgrounds. This early commitment to advocacy laid the foundation for her holistic, client-centred approach to immigration law.
Christine is highly regarded for her deep knowledge of UK nationality legislation and her advisory work with clients pursuing second citizenship via investment or descent. Her experience spans a wide array of application categories, and she remains a valued voice within Coates Global’s extended executive network.
In addition to her role in client services, Christine also contributes to the continuous development of best practices within the firm, particularly in relation to UK naturalisation pathways. She speaks English fluently and has working knowledge of Turkish, enhancing communication with a wider international client base.
Her insight, dedication, and empathetic counsel make her a respected presence in the global immigration sector.

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.
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.
I’ve seen families reunited, children enrolling in world-class schools, and entrepreneurs unlocking international markets. That’s the power of what we do.
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.
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.
Being part of this team means being part of something bigger — we open borders, but more importantly, we open futures.
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.
With every investor we support, we’re contributing to a stronger, more interconnected world. It’s an honour to play that role.
The World is rising, and our clients are part of that story. We ensure they have access to the global opportunities they deserve.
As an American lawyer working globally, I’ve seen how Coates Global turns complex ambitions into concrete achievements.
