PartyGaming has sidelined Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) for legal work since its £5bn flotation in June, it has emerged, with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Olswang now taking the majority of the FTSE 100 company’s work.

BLP, which has been a long-standing adviser to the internet gaming client since its launch in 1997, is still named as an adviser to the client for regulatory issues, but is understood not to be receiving work at the moment.
