Addleshaw Goddard is set to see the departure of two senior litigators as Simon Twigden and Pietro Marino leave the firm to set up their own litigation boutique.

Litigation partners Marino and Twigden (pictured) – the national firm’s practice head – both handed in their notice last week. It is unclear if the duo, who will now serve a 12-month notice period, will take any other Addleshaws staff with them.
