Eversheds’ former City tax head Clive Jones and international real estate chief William Naunton have ended up signing for King & Wood Mallesons, ten months after handing in their notices with the intention of setting up their own high-end real estate boutique.

The pair will join KWM in January, along with former Eversheds London senior partner Cornelius Medvei, who returned to fee earning after being replaced in the role in 2009.
