Allen & Overy (A&O) advised on its fourth IPO in a month last week, working alongside Weil Gotshal & Manges on the intended listing of service provider Equiniti.
It’s been a busy September for the magic circle firm, with A&O winning mandates on the planned flotation of insurance provider Hastings, as well as payment processor Worldpay. It also worked on the intention to float of new client Ibstock, which was introduced to the firm through its financial adviser Rothschild.
On the Equiniti listing, A&O represented the underwriters, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse and Liberum Capital. Weil Gotshal meanwhile worked with the company itself and its owner Advent International.
The US firm advised private equity group Advent International when it initially purchased Equiniti back in 2007.
