Travers Smith, Hogan Lovells and Norton Rose Fulbright are acting on the initial public offering (IPO) of high street fashion chain Fat Face.
The retailer has been owned by private equity house Bridgepoint Capital since 2007 when it was sold by Advent for £360m.
According to press reports, Fat Face is expecting to raise £110m by floating its shares on the London Stock exchange this month.
Travers has been mandated by long-standing client Bridgepoint, led by head of corporate Spencer Summerfield, partner Philip Cheveley and Charles Casassa on US securities law.
Hogan Lovells is advising the lenders, led by banking partner Stuart Brinkworth while Norton Rose advised the investment banks – Citi and Jefferies – with partner Mark Lloyd Williams leading.
Travers advised Bridgepoint on its original 2007 acquisition of the retailer, with Weil Gotshal & Manges acting for the seller, Advent.
The listing follows those of Pets at Home and Poundland which took place earlier this year. Roles were handed to Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Clifford Chance and Travers on the £1.2bn IPO of Pets at Home Group listing. Allen & Overy and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer won mandates on the Poundland flotation.
