Raymond James Investment Services
Raymond James Investment Services has made two senior appointments to strengthen its wealth management services team: Chris Cahill, divisional director and Ben Camp-Bell, director of wealth management services.

Cahill, who has more than two decades of experience in financial services leadership, was most recently head of private client consultancy and advice at St James’s Place Wealth Management, where he led teams supporting high net worth clients through bespoke financial planning and strategic engagement.

At Raymond James, Cahill will be working closely with several of the firm’s regional branches, supporting their daily operations and helping them to continue delivering “outstanding client service.”

His appointment follows that of Ben Camp-Bell, who joined earlier this year to manage the continued development of the firm’s client and investment proposition. He has more than 25 years of experience in financial services, including senior roles at Fairstone and Old Mutual Wealth.

Raymond James Wealth Management comprises Raymond James Investment Services and Charles Stanley. Assets under management and administration (AuMA) of the combined UK wealth management group stand at £46.8 billion ($62.8 billion), as at 30 June 2025.

Charles Russell Speechlys
International law firm Charles Russell Speechlys has appointed Annapaola Negri-Clementi (pictured) and her team to join its Milan office, marking a step in the firm’s strategic expansion and enhancement of its multidisciplinary private capital offering in Italy, the firm said in a statement.

Her team includes two senior associates, Arianna Leonardelli (corporate) and Valeria Tommasi (IP), and senior art consultant, Giorgia Ligasacchi, who will support her on the full range of matters across corporate law, IP and art advisory.

Negri-Clementi is a “distinguished” corporate lawyer with a multifaceted practice that spans corporate transactions, financial markets and fintech, intellectual property (IP), board advisory roles, and a niche specialism in art law. She has more than 30 years of experience spanning a spectrum of sophisticated corporate transactions. She advises on innovative financial services and technologies at the intersection of law, finance, and digital transformation.

Negri-Clementi, who also has an art practice, is a recognised figure in the Italian art world. Her practice includes advising private banks and family offices on art transactions, art wealth and collection management, and regulatory compliance in Italy's regulated art market, including Ministry of Culture registrations and export controls.

Previously an equity partner at Pavesio e Associati, Negri-Clementi has had roles in financial services companies, as well as prestigious positions at large enterprises, industry associations and listed companies under the supervision of ECB, Consob and Bank of Italy. She also participates as a lecturer at leading universities and speaks regularly at conferences on art and on corporate law.

JM Finn
UK wealth manager JM Finn has appointed Jonathan Taylor and Tom Cheesman to build out its specialist Court of Protection service.

With more 25 years’ experience serving clients and deputies, Taylor is an expert in managing wealth for Court of Protection clients and personal injury trusts. He started his career at Investec in 1997, developing the Court of Protection service into a significant business, before departing soon after its merger with Rathbones.

Cheesman, who has worked with Taylor for the last six years, was also previously at Investec and subsequently Rathbones, before joining JM Finn as an investment manager, in September.

They join their former colleague, team assistant Kirsten Twidale, and are based in JM Finn’s London office.

These hires come on the back of recent news that JM Finn is opening a new office in Cheltenham as it seeks to broaden its regional and specialist reach to new clients across the country.
