Ince & Co's Piraeus office Greek law head George Iatridis is the latest partner to leave the firm as it gears up to merge with listed law firm Gordon Dadds.

He is set to join Watson Farley & Williams' Athens base next year. Iatridis spent 10 years at Ince, developing his practice advising Greek and international shipowning groups, P&I clubs, banks and insurers and reinsurers.

His move will see him reunite with former Ince Piraeus office head Antonis Lagadianos and shipping partner Evangelos Catsambas, who joined Watson Farley this month.

Ince London partner duo Renaud Barbier-Emery and Jonathan Goldfarb also left the firm in November to join Norwegian firm Wikborg Rein's UK base.

Iatridis's departure comes a week after that of Ince's London head Andrew Jameson. Jameson is to leave the firm as Gordon Dadds' CEO prepares to take the reins at the merged outfit.

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.

Ince & Co declined to comment.
