Druces—Edward Gordon-Hall

Firm appoints director of finance

City firm Druces LLP has welcomed Edward Gordon-Hall to the team as finance director.

Edwards joins after almost three years as head of finance at Edwin Coe, and has more than 20 years of experience in the role; previously, he has been the chief financial officer at Olswang, director of finance at Lewis Silkin, and practice director at Kilburn & Strode.

Edward commented: ‘I am excited to be joining Druces at such a critical time for firms working in today’s legal sector. I am looking forward in particular to the challenge of joining such a long established firm as it continues to look forward in a rapidly changing legal landscape.’

Senior partner at Druces Roy Campbell also said: ‘Edward’s hire is a significant move for Druces.  Following 4 years of double-digit growth and our recent re-entry into The Lawyer’s ‘UK 200’, Edward’s arrival will enable us to build on the firm’s sound financial management and ultimately in continuing our financial success.  We are delighted that he is joining us.’
