The administrators of King & Wood Mallesons’ (KWM) European arm have released details of the sums raised by the break-up and sale of the business in a letter to creditors that also sheds light on the failed efforts to secure a single-firm takeover.

The report, sent to KWM’s creditors by Quantuma earlier this week (23 January), lists a breakdown of sales completed before and after the firm’s European, UK and Middle East (EUME) business went into administration on 17 January.
