Taylor Wessing has taken a lead role for Google on its acquisition of deals website DailyDeal, while the search engine giant has also sealed the purchase of restaurant ratings and survey guide Zagat, reports The Am Law Daily.

Google's purchase of DailyDeal, which targets customers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, handed a lead role to Taylor Wessing, with Hamburg corporate partners Robert Wethmar and Tillmann Pfeifer heading up the firm's team. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The firm also represented Google last year on its acquisitions of mobile visual search startup Plink and speech synthesis company Phonetic Arts, both of which were based in the UK.

Willkie Farr & Gallagher is acting for Insight Venture Partners as selling shareholder in DailyDeal on the sale to Google, with a team led by corporate partner Gordon Caplan in New York and corporate partner Stefan Joergens in Frankfurt.

Osborne Clarke advised DailyDeal, fielding a team led by banking and finance partner Nicolas Gabrysch., working alongside California firm Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian.

The acquisition comes two weeks after Google bought Zagat in a transaction reportedly valued at $100m-$200m (£64m-£127m).

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati corporate partners David Segre and Denny Kwon are leading a team from the firm advising Google on the Zagat deal. Google's client relationship with Wilson Sonsini dates back to the company's founding in 1998.

The purchase of the restaurant review and ratings company is another step by the company to grab a larger share of the increasingly lucrative local services market.
