Launch of new global consultancy for investors, law firms, and legal businesses
Kingsley Napley today announced its backing for Passmore & Oliver Partners, a new independent consultancy being launched by Crispin Passmore and Juliet Oliver, focused on providing strategic advice to investors, law firms, and legal businesses around the world.
The launch of Passmore & Oliver Partners marks the next phase of the founders and Kingsley Napley’s ambition to bring together the best of legal, strategic, and commercial expertise. It builds on a year of collaboration within Kingsley Napley’s legal services advisory practice, during which Crispin and Juliet worked closely with the team, clients and the market to identify opportunities for innovation and growth across the professional services sector.
Passmore & Oliver Partners will operate independently but in close collaboration with Kingsley Napley, particularly alongside the legal services team led by Iain Miller. This will allow clients to access a full spectrum of support, from regulatory and governance insight to commercial and strategic execution.
Matt Meyer, Managing Partner at Kingsley Napley said,
We’re delighted to be backing Passmore & Oliver Partners and taking an equity stake as it launches. Kingsley Napley has always been committed to innovation in professional services, and this collaboration strengthens our ability to serve clients across the full lifecycle, from regulatory complexity to strategic growth. Passmore & Oliver Partners will extend the reach of what we can do together.”
Crispin Passmore, Co-Founder of Passmore & Oliver Partners, said,
Juliet and I are excited to take this next step with KN’s support. Over the past 12 months we’ve listened to what the market is asking for - a global, independent consultancy that understands both regulation and strategy, but remains closely connected to legal practice. Passmore and Oliver Partners fills that gap, and our partnership with Kingsley Napley ensures clients get the best of both worlds.”
Passmore & Oliver Partners launches on 1 November 2025 and will become a go-to global consultancy for regulatory and strategic matters affecting professional services investors and operators. Clients working with Crispin and Juliet at Kingsley Napley will be invited to transition their matters to Passmore and Oliver Partners, ensuring continuity of service.
Both organisations will continue to collaborate where joint expertise delivers the best outcomes for clients.
