Winston & Strawn is the latest firm to express interest in parts of King & Wood Mallesons’ (KWM) European business, Legal Week understands. KWM announced earlier today that it has received “a number” of purchase offers and that these are now under review.

While the extent of its interest is not yet clear, former KWM partners say the US firm is currently the “frontrunner” to take over a large portion of the business.
