Sullivan & Cromwell and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer have taken the lead roles as global investment bank Lazard agrees to purchase UK-based private capital advisory firm Campbell Lutyens, known for its expertise in secondary and GP-led transactions.
The deal, announced yesterday (30 April), is valued at approximately $575m, and follows EQT’s acquisition of Coller Capital in January, a deal which saw Ropes and Kirkland take the lead roles.
