DAVIS POLK& Wardwell’s London office won a role last year on one of the UK’s most eagerly anticipated deals, advising NTL on its $6bn (£3.43bn) merger with Telewest.

Other deal highlights included advising Royal Bank of Scotland on a $4bn (£2.14bn) offering of extendable floating-rate notes.

The London office remains avowedly US capability only, although during 2005 it added a French local law capability when it hired its first non-US lateral in Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s former co-head of M&A in Paris Arnaud Pérès.

Davis Polk operates an all-equity partnership and is one of the few remaining firms with a pure lockstep remuneration system.
