DWF, the UK law firm, has recruited Graham Ball from Arbuthnot Latham Private Bank to lead its private client portfolio, Click Liverpool reports.

Ball, who was a regional associate director, joined Arbuthnot Latham in 1999 to establish its Manchester office. He began his career at NatWest Bank and spent close to two decades there working in a variety of Northwest-based roles.

“His extensive experience and contacts in the banking and wealth management sector gives us a real insight into the needs of high net worth individuals and families and will introduce new business opportunities into the practice,” David Pickering, DWF’s head of family law and private client, is quoted as having said.

DWF had not responded to enquiries from WealthBriefing on the matter at the time of publication.
