Eversheds has secured a multimillion-pound contract to take over Pentair Flow Control's routine legal work in the EMEA region.

The top 10 UK firm has signed a two-year fixed-fee contract with the valve manufacturer following its spin-off last year from Tyco, with which Eversheds also has an exclusive agreement to provide legal advice.

Although the value of the Pentair contract is undisclosed, it is believed to be worth more than the estimated £13m two-year contract Eversheds recently signed with Tyco.
