He has extensive tax planning, transactional and advisory expertise, particularly in UK and cross-border M&A, finance, property and corporate transactions.

Paul is the third tax specialist to have joined Druces in the last 18 months.

Druces’ Senior Partner Roy Campbell, comments:

“I am very pleased to be joining Druces. It is an exciting period of growth for the firm which is well-placed to offer high-value support to its clients and a genuinely partner-led service. I look forward to working with the growing tax and business teams and further developing our tax services.”

Paul’s appointment follows nominations for Druces at the forthcoming Citywealth Magic Circle Awards 2018 and WealthBriefing European Awards 2017. It also comes at the end of a landmark year for the firm which is celebrating 250 years since it was founded in 1767.
