Linklaters and Nabarro partners have been criticised for "covering up" details of the advice they provided on the sale of BHS prior to its collapse, by Labour MP and chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee Frank Field.
Partners of both firms appeared before the House of Commons Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and the Work and Pensions Committee on Monday (23 May), as part of the ongoing inquiry into the sale of BHS to Retail Acquisitions by retail tycoon Philip Green's Arcadia Group for £1 last year.
Linklaters corporate partner Owen Clay, who advised Arcadia on the sale, and Nabarro partner Ian Greenstreet, who advised Arcadia owner Taveta on pensions matters between 2009 and 2015, were both questioned on the sale.
