RollOnFriday can reveal that Kennedys' former star aviation lawyer is moving to Hill Dickinson only months after Kennedy's merged with his firm.
Sean Gates merged his eponymous Gates & Partners aviation firm with Kennedys last summer. But insiders say that things went badly wrong very quickly. Gates himself announced that he would be retiring from the firm last May. Since then five of his colleagues have moved to Hill Dickinson and RollOnFriday can confirm that the main man is now shortly to be joining them.
It will cost Kennedys a fortune. A source told RollOnFriday that "everyone at Kennedys are sh*tting themselves as they only put in place a one year covenant". Come the summer all his clients will be able to join him for free, leaving Kennedys nursing a massive loss. D'oh!
A spokesman for Hill Dickinson said he wouldn't comment on Gates' move, but said that "we have recently recruited a team of senior lawyers from Kennedys' aviation team including two partners".
Kennedys said that Sean Gates had not been part of the firm for some time, so as such wouldn't be able to comment.
