Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and CMS Cameron Mc-Kenna have won the main roles as private equity giants circle UK media group Informa.Freshfields has landed the lead for a consortium of private equity houses including Providence Equity Partners, Carlyle Group and Blackstone Group, with the latest bid for the media group valuing the company at £1.9m. The deal, which is being led by private equity partner David Sonter, is the latest evidence that Freshfields' efforts to forge strong buy-out links are paying off, as US firm Latham & Watkins is a frequent adviser to Carlyle.Meanwhile, Camerons has taken the lead for regular client Informa, instructing a team under corporate finance partner Gary Green.The bid, which was rejected last week (5 September), is the latest in a stream of interest for Informa. In June, Providence, Carlyle and Hellman & Friedman tabled a bid valuing the group at £2.15bn. Hellman & Friedman has since walked away from the group while Blackstone has joined. In a statement, Informa said that the revised bid significantly undervalues the company. The publisher, which has more than 40,000 academic and business titles in print and is known for key shipping publication Lloyds List, employs 10,000 people worldwide.
