An insider says that Robert Weekes will be handing over the reins to Stephen Mahon, who is currently in Cincinnati. Apparently only the firm's partners have been told so far, and many of them are less than delighted. Weekes has been behind the mast for a decade and is very highly regarded.

Well since this story came out they have been leaving Squires in droves! First floor of the London office now pretty much deserted. Poorly managed and not going anywhere. Rob’s moved on to better things and taken a load of London partners with him - good for him!
