Ashurst and Slaughter and May are among a raft of U.K., Danish and Canadian firms advising on the £7.2 billion takeover of international insurance group RSA.

The takeover will see Canadian property and casualty insurer Intact acquire RSA’s Canadian, U.K. and international operations, according to an RSA statement. Tryg, a non-life insurance company, will retain RSA’s Swedish and Norwegian businesses.
