We strengthen London teams with new appointments

We’re happy to announce the appointment of two new partners to our London City and West End teams.

Victoria Kisseleva joins our West End office as a Partner in our Corporate Finance team after a 20-year career in international finance, private equity and investment banking.

Victoria has a particular specialism in the beauty and wellness industry, most recently as an Independent Consultant providing strategic advice to private equity, venture funds and independent companies, and will be working to help expand our footprint in the sector.

Jonathan Wheatcroft joins our London City office as a Partner in the Forensic Services team, bringing 20 years’ experience, having worked on high-profile and sensitive fraud, bribery and financial crime projects, across multiple jurisdictions.

He joins from PwC UK where he was a forensic accountant and investigations specialist working closely with clients and their legal advisers to develop and deliver investigation strategies, as well as advising on their anti-bribery programmes and wider fraud risk management.

The appointments come as we continue to invest in our growing team. Earlier in the year, we announced 12 partner promotions, alongside 72 promotions firmwide. We also launched a new Financial Advisory pillar to meet client demand, while late in 2022, we opened our first overseas office in Cyprus.

Jeremy French, Chief Operating Officer at FRP, said: “These latest appointments highlight our ability to attract some of our respective industries’ best and brightest, as we work to expand our offering and enhance our teams in London and across the country.

“We continue to invest in our people to support our ongoing growth and deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients – helping them make their strategic ambitions a reality, while creating opportunities for our colleagues to progress and build successful careers.

“The breadth and depth of skills and experience we now have across the firm means we are well placed to deliver for our clients across each of our connected service pillars – Corporate Finance, Restructuring Advisory, Debt Advisory, Financial Advisory and Forensic Services – at a critical time for UK businesses.”
