David Davies (right) joins with broad corporate expertise, advising entrepreneurs, family offices and venture-backed businesses on M&A, IPOs, restructuring and governance. With a strong interest in ESG and the impact economy, he said: ‘I am thrilled to be joining the team to help our clients navigate the opportunities and challenges of today’s evolving corporate landscape.’

Senior partner Andrea Zavos commented: ‘Their appointments reflect our continued investment in senior talent to meet the evolving needs of our clients.’ The announcement follows a year of strong growth for Boodle Hatfield, with revenue rising 20% to £43.1m.
