Taylor Joynson Garrett (TJG) has taken over Garretts’ Cambridge office in a move that echoes Garretts’ withdrawal from Leeds. The deal, which was prompted by the departure of office managing partner Gerry Fitzsimons to an undisclosed client, sees a seven-strong team join TJG.

The departing Garretts team is led by corporate partner David Mardle and includes senior assistant Simon Crossley, who is joining TJG as a partner. TJG officially launched the practice on 2 January.
