Ince Gordon Dadds is set to be left waiting for another 14 months before its senior partner-to-be can join the firm due to stringent exit clauses, several people familiar with the matter have said.
Ince had widely publicised the appointment of Hill Dickinson’s global head of shipping Julian Clark as its new senior partner in September last year. However, Clark is subject to non-compete clauses and a notice period that prevents him from joining the AIM-listed firm until May 2021, according to three people close to the situation.
