Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson has scooped a number of new clients acting on headline deals for telecoms giant NTL, private equity house New Mountain Capital and hedge fund Citadel Investment Group.

The new clients, believed to number 25, were unveiled last month in a presentation to the New York firm’s partnership by co-managing partner Valerie Ford Jacob, to emphasise the level of business the firm has won since its talks with Ashurst Morris Crisp broke down in May.
