A trio of City leaders – Weil Gotshal & Manges, Slaughter and May and Allen & Overy – have combined to close Premier Foods’ acquisition of desserts business Ambrosia from Unilever.

Weil Gotshal advised Premier Foods, a portfolio company of regular private equity client Hicks Muse Tate and Furst, on the deal, which was signed on 2 November for an undisclosed sum, thought to be around £100m.
