A raft of top firms have earned spots advising on Morrisons £6.3 billion takeover by a consortium led by U.S. private equity group Fortress Investment Group.
Morrisons, which announced the accepted offer on Saturday, has turned to longtime adviser Ashurst, a statement by the firm said. London corporate partner Tom Mercer is leading a team made up of corporate partner James Fletcher, competition partner Nigel Parr and strategic advisory partner and co-head of Ashurst’s London office Lynn Dunne, as well as head of incentives Nicholas Stretch, employment partner Ruth Buchanan and finance partners Anna Delgado and Tim Rennie.
