Ince & Co's London head Andrew Jameson is leaving the firm as it prepares to merge with Gordon Dadds.
Jameson is departing after just 12 months in the position, when he joined the firm as its first London head. His arrival followed former international senior partner Jan Heuvel's relocation to Hong Kong.
Jameson's exit will make way for Gordon Dadds CEO Adrian Biles, who is preparing to assume leadership of the merged firm. Biles will be based in Ince's current London base at Aldgate Tower.
Jameson said: "One of the key benefits and strengths of Ince Gordon Dadds is that Adrian Biles, our CEO and managing partner, will be based here in Aldgate Tower. I think that is a very sensible and positive move, and I am looking forward to working with the current Gordon Dadds senior management team to ensure the smooth and successful integration of our firms.
"I have agreed that it is in the best interests of all concerned that I will leave on completion of the merger, given that we will not need a separate head of office. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at Ince & Co and am genuinely excited for the future of Ince Gordon Dadds."
Jameson joined Ince in April 2018 following a career in the Royal Navy, where he was a barrister and logistics officer. As logistics officer, he was responsible for managing 1,200 crew members on the HMS Ark Royal aircraft carrier.
His departure follows several others from the firm, which were unconnected to the firm's upcoming merger. A trio of partners joined Stephenson Harwood, while Piraeus office head Antonis Lagadianos and shipping partner Evangelos Catsambas are joining Watson Farley & Williams.
Listed firm Gordon Dadds announced last month that under AIM rules, the acquisition of Ince will be classified as a reverse takeover. Legal Week revealed that partners in the merged firm will move to a 'black box' pay system while legacy Ince partners will also be subject to an effective 12-month lock-in at the combined firm, followed by a potential six-month notice period.
