Oracle Capital Group, the multi-family office and wealth consultancy, announced today it has appointed Vincent Mercer, a lawyer, to its advisory board.

Mercer began his career at the London Clearing House in 1983 where he worked on the then-emerging UK regulatory structure contributing to both the Financial Services Act 1986 and the market default procedures in the Companies Act 1989.

His subsequent roles included head of risk management for the London Stock Exchange’s Traded Options Market (1987 – 1991) where his responsibilities included the clearing, settlement and risk management of the Stock Exchange’s former equity options. He set up his own law firm in 1991 which later merged with City law firm Speechly Bircham, where he became a partner in its financial services group. Mercer retains an ongoing consultancy role with Speechly Bircham.

The most recent appointment to Oracle's advisory board, prior to Mercer, was former Home Secretary David Blunkett. The board is chaired by Martin Graham, former director of markets and chairman of AIM at London Stock Exchange.

Oracle was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Luxembourg. It has seven offices (London, Luxembourg, Geneva, Nassau, Moscow, Almaty and Limassol) and employs over 100 staff worldwide.
