Specialist healthcare law firm DR Solicitors has appointed Paul Edels as a partner, further enhancing its national corporate healthcare practice and broadening its expertise across the dental, pharmacy, and care home sectors. Edels joins from Bermans with more than 15 years’ experience advising on complex corporate and asset transactions for buyers and sellers across healthcare and other industries.
His work spans dental practice acquisitions, pharmacy and care home deals, corporate restructures, and partnership and shareholder disputes. He will lead the firm’s corporate healthcare team, supported by senior corporate paralegal Paul Rabbette, to strengthen DR Solicitors’ capabilities in high-value transactions and strategic advisory work.
Founder and partner Daphne Robertson said Edels’ appointment ‘reinforces our commitment to providing the highest level of specialist legal advice to healthcare professionals nationwide’, adding that his ‘deep sector knowledge and extensive experience make him an exceptional addition to the firm’.
Edels said DR Solicitors’ ‘exceptional focus and reputation in healthcare law’ made it the ideal platform to ‘support clients across the healthcare sector with the commercial insight and legal rigour they need to thrive’. Headquartered in Guildford, DR Solicitors advises more than 2,500 clinical practices nationwide and is part of the Dow Schofield Watts Group following its 2024 acquisition.
