Andy Ryde - Slaughter and May
Within: M&A: upper mid-market and premium deals, £250m+
The ‘very high-quality’ practice at Slaughter and May is ‘definitely the go-to for large-scale and complex transactions’. The firm’s blue-chip client list includes Burberry, Diageo, General Electric, GlaxoSmithKline and Rolls-Royce. The M&A offering is headed by Roland Turnill, while Andy Ryde leads the team’s broader corporate practice. Turnill and Jonathan Marks acted for Standard Life on its all-share merger with Aberdeen Asset Management, effected by court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement, and Turnill also advised Vodafone on the proposed merger of its India business with Idea Cellular. Simon Nicholls advised John Wood Group on its all-share offer for Amec Foster Wheeler and worked alongside David Johnson (recommended by one individual as ‘simply the best M&A lawyer I have ever worked with’) on Actelion’s $30bn takeover by Johnson & Johnson. Johnson also acted on Cineworld Group’s $5.8bn acquisition of Regal Entertainment Group, while Hywel Davies led a large team handling INEOS’ acquisition of the entire oil and gas business of DONG Energy, and senior partner Steve Cooke handled WS Atkins’ £2.1bn acquisition of SNC-Lavalin. Nigel Boardman and William Underhill remain involved with a wide variety of transactions and advisory matters. Christian Boney and Filippo De Falco were both promoted to partnership. Chris McGaffin moved to the firm's Hong Kong office in August 2017 and Padraig Cronin moved to the firm's pensions and employment practice. Gary Eaborn retired.
