Vodafone has turned to DLA Piper for its latest major M&A deal: the €7.2bn acquisition of Grupo Corporativo Ono, with Weil, Gotshal & Manges leading for the Spanish cable company’s principal shareholders.
Vodafone, which typically instructs Linklaters but last year selected Slaughter and May to advise on the $130bn disposal of its US group, whose principle asset is its 45% stake in Verizon Wireless, turned to DLA’s Madrid-based group and sector co-managing director Juan Picon.
