Graham May
Graham May is a practising solicitor, originally admitted in 1979 following a law degree at Cambridge University and two years of articles with a Manchester firm of solicitors, George Davies & Co. His initial background was in commercial property transactions for the London Legal Department of the National Coal Board Pension Schemes. Graham’s international experience included 7 years practising as an attorney-at-law in the Cayman Islands in the areas of banking, insurance, trusts and mutual funds. Since 1989 he has acted as an in-house lawyer in the U.K. financial services industry, first with currency fund managers, Gaiacorp U.K., and then as Managing Director of that group’s London subsidiary, renamed Titan Capital Management, where he was instrumental in developing the worldwide investment management business. Having co-ordinated the sale of Titan in 2002 – 2003, he set up Mottram Partners, an accounting and compliance subsidiary of a plc. Following the break-up of the plc, he jointly established Millers Associates to continue the business of advising plc’s and private companies in all aspects of corporate and company secretarial procedures. Since 2007 Graham has also practised as a consultant solicitor, now with the City firm of Irvine and Partners, in order to complement his work at Millers.’

Variety of Charging Structures
Charging can be by way of fixed annual or monthly fees, or hourly rates dependent on level of service. Charging for the executive recruitment service is normally a percentage of the executive’s first year salary.
In-House or External
Services can be provided either at the client’s place of business or at Millers’ offices in the City of London.
Cost Effective
Millers appreciates that start-up ventures can have early cash-flow challenges and can tailor the charging structure to suit individual requirements, even locating and training full-time employees to implement the services in-house when the client is able to justify such recruitment.
Complementary Services
Millers has developed a wide network of associated service providers in the areas of IT, financial services and taxation and can recommend such referrals to clients.
