A host of top law firms including Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Addleshaw Goddard and Allen & Overy have all secured roles in advising on the major tie-up of the Issa brother-owned businesses Asda and EG groups.
Supermarket chain Asda announced on Tuesday that it had acquired the U.K. operations of its sister company, petrol station giant EG Group, in a £2.27 billion deal which will see the supermarket acquire 350 petrol filling stations and 1,000 food-to-go outlets, in a bid to tap into the convenience food market.
