The newly-merged outfit will be named Ince Gordon Dadds with a target for completion by 31 December.
Gordon Dadds has come under the spotlight recently, after it was hired by the Daily Telegraph to fight an injunction by Topshop boss Sir Philip Green. The tycoon had tried to stop the newspaper publishing allegations of racial abuse and sexual harassment against him.
