Slaughter and May and A&O Shearman have taken lead roles on the £2.4bn takeover of FTSE 250 financial services firm Just Group by Brookfield Wealth Solutions.
The acquisition of Just Group, which specialises in the retirement income market, is part of a push by Canada’s Brookfield to deepen its involvement in the UK market, and comes after the company earlier this year launched a UK subsidiary, Blumont, which will now be merged with Just.
