Two department heads at City firm Withers – Stephen Digby and David Gebbie – are leaving this week for separate destinations.
But although both men are leaving the firm on the same day – this Friday – their departures are unconnected.
Digby, who was head of intellectual property at Withers, will take up the same role at entertainment and media firm Davenport Lyons.
He said: "I do see Davenport Lyons as an opportunity to very much develop my practice particularly given their superb work in media and entertainment."
Gebbie refused to comment on his plans. He took over as head of corporate finance at Withers in July 1997 following the departure of Tim Stocks to Taylor Joynson Garrett.
Senior partner Diana Parker wished both men well. "I understand that Gebbie is leaving for some entrepreneurial activity of his own."
