Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has rejigged the leadership of its heavyweight M&A practice, appointing London-based Bruce Embley and New York-based Matthew Herman as its new global M&A co-heads.
Corporate partner Embley (pictured) has recently advised Anheuser-Busch InBev on the divestments of SAB Miller’s European and eastern European beer brands to Asahi, ahead of the two beer giants’ mega merger last year. His clients include HSBC, Permira, Reinet, General Dynamics, TPG and the Qatar Investment Authority.
