Druces LLP, a London-based law firm, has strategically expanded its private wealth team with the appointment of Mike Bell as a partner. In a public announcement made on Thursday, Bell’s expertise was highlighted, particularly his proficiency in crafting tailored legal solutions for clients and advising non-domiciled individuals from Asia and the Far East on structuring property acquisitions in the United Kingdom. This move reflects Druces’ commitment to bolstering its private wealth division, which is poised to address the growing demand for specialized legal services in the realm of international property investment.
Mike Bell’s transition to Druces comes after his tenure at Freeths, where he built a commendable reputation in his field. His practice is expected to complement Druces’ existing capabilities by integrating his insight and experience in cross-border legal matters, especially those pertaining to high net worth individuals. Alongside Bell, Jessica Moseley has joined the firm as an associate, further strengthening the firm’s capacity to serve its diverse clientele.
