Confectionary giant Cadbury Schweppes has finalised the make-up of its legal team after confirming that it will be splitting with its drinks arm.

Cadbury legal chief Hank Udow said that in the wake of the demerger, which was confirmed on 10 October, the company’s 70-lawyer legal team will be split in two. Around 50 lawyers will stay at Cadbury and around 20 will join the drinks business, Americas Beverages.
