Taylor Wessing has lost two senior London partners as UK telecoms head Patrick Clark moves to head the legal team at one of the firm’s clients, City-headquartered global e-invoicing network OB10, and longstanding construction heavyweight Helen Garthwaite joins LB100 firm Wedlake Bell.
Clark returns in-house after nearly four years at the top 20 firm, having previously spent time as lead corporate counsel for North Europe at French global telecoms equipment company Alcatel-Lucent between 2005 and 2010. Before that he worked as a senior associate at Taylor Wessing from 1996 to 2005.
