Kennedys Law LLP

For Social Mobility Day, we sat down with Iskander Fernandez, partner in Kennedys' London office, to talk about his background and progression into law. Iskander leads the white collar crime and investigations team and is one of the senior sponsors for the EMBRACE, Kennedys’ cultural and ethnic diversity network.

Iskander, let’s start from the beginning. Where did you grow up?

I was born in Yemen to a Yemeni mother and a Portuguese father, the latter who left home to make his life in the world; ending up in Yemen, where he met my mother.
