Rudy Capildeo

Spear's Review

‘I help my clients enjoy the objects they love,’ says Rudy Capildeo, former co-head of Charles Russell Speechlys’ Art and Luxury Law Team who joined the art and luxury arm of Wedlake Bell together with star partner Tim Maxwell in 2023.

The strategic recruitment of Capildeo and Tim Maxwell has been a conscious effort by the firm to provide expertise that matters to their clients, differentiating them from their competitors. Clientele ranges from artists, private collectors and international art galleries to fine wine financiers and musical instrument funds, and the team will focus on achieving 'world-record auction results', according to the firm.

Capildeo advises on non-contentious matters which could involve anything from traditional high-value transactions to matters in the metaverse and the usage of non-fungible tokens.
