Spear’s Review

Nick Davis, the personable partner and chair of Mishcon Private, has expert knowledge of M&A, reorganisations, restructurings and business law. He works with U/HNW founders and business owners, as well as global corporations, across a range of sectors – including finance, technology and real estate. 

The personal and business affairs of HNWs are becoming increasingly intertwined, he says, making crossover knowledge ever more important. ‘You have to understand what is important for your client and what may be influencing their decisions; after all, we are all human and affected by what goes on in our lives. 

‘Without the empathy and understanding of both private and corporate affairs, I do not believe you can be a good private corporate adviser.’

What separates the great from the good? ‘Empathy, passion, care and consideration, enlightened tenacity and a feeling that you are as good as your last transaction.'
