Macfarlanes is set to see the departure of two City partners, with planning head Ian Ginbey and real estate partner Richard Reuben joining Clyde & Co and Fladgate respectively.

Ginbey, who specialises in appeals, environmental impact assessments and High Court litigation, is set to join Clydes at the end of April to lead the firm’s London planning group, while Reuben will also leave Macfarlanes next month.
