Nabarro has lost a three-lawyer team, including energy head Tom Bainbridge, to technology boutique Temple Bright in London.
The climate change and energy projects team, which joins today (1 July), also includes Nabarro partner Louisa Cilenti and senior associate Sandy Abrahams.
All three lawyers join as partners, launching a new practice area for the Bristol-founded firm.
At Nabarro, the trio advised on a range of renewables projects in the Middle East and UK, including carbon capture and storage, district heating, and the development of new routes to market for local energy projects.
Prior to their time at Nabarro, Brainbridge and Cilenti were partners at Hammonds and DLA Piper respectively.
"We're really excited about moving to Temple Bright and our clients seem to be just as excited as us," said Bainbridge.
"The firm's streamlined model gives us with the ideal opportunity to offer them the nimble, expert service and tailored pricing that the market is calling for. We have a great order book of work already and we are looking forward to building our practice within this new context."
Speaking to Legal Week, Temple Bright's co-founding partner Tim Summers said the hires were a "major vote of confidence" in the firm's 'chambers'-style set-up.
"The reason we've adopted this model is to maintain a focus on delivering City-quality advice from senior lawyers at reasonable rates," he said. The firm eschews a junior lawyer base in favour of a smaller group of senior lawyers.
"The legal marketplace is changing fast," added Cilenti. "The Temple Bright model fundamentally changes the way that lawyers can interact with their clients. With no imposed management hierarchy or billing targets, we are released to focus solely on supporting our clients' objectives and building common goals with them, in an industry we care about deeply."
In London, the firm now counts 11 partners, most recently adding RPC executive partner David Meredith as a partner in the IP, outsourcing and technology team.
