Olswang last week secured 13 partners and 38 staff from DJ Freeman in a move that has split the London firm in two and resulted in the remaining practice reforming itself as Kendall Freeman.

Details of the move, exclusively revealed on www.legalweek.net and confirmed on Wednesday (12 March), will see DJ Freeman’s senior partner, Toby Greenbury, leave to join Olswang along with the firm’s property practice, two media partners and a tax partner.
