Mishcon de Reya has hired a specialist real estate team from law firm Seddons to enhance its own private wealth planning group with a dedicated service for high net worth clients.

Headed by partner Ned El-Imad and assistants James Liffen, Julie Bond, Ruth McKenzie and Sarah Callaghan, the team started at Mishcon de Reya at the end of July 2008.

The team specialise in providing a bespoke service in relation to premium residential transactions.  The appointments were made, the firm says, in response to increased demand from its international high net worth client base.  
 
Mr El-Imad said of his appointment: "Mishcon de Reya has a great reputation and an excellent client base. My team and I are excited to have joined and look forward to working closely with the firm's real estate, immigration and private wealth planning groups to build an enhanced residential practice."
