Linklaters and Allen & Overy (A&O) have taken lead roles on Lloyds TSB's £12.2bn rescue takeover of the UK's largest mortgage lender HBOS. Linklaters is advising Lloyds on the merger, which was put together in a matter of days last week, following HBOS's share price collapse after Lehman Brothers' shock bankruptcy filing. The magic circle law firm, which is a regular adviser to Lloyds, is fielding a team under relationship partner Jeremy Parr and corporate partner Duncan Barber. Competition partners Michael Cutting and Bill Allan are also involved in the deal, which has attracted some criticism because of the Government's decision to introduce emergency legislation allowing the merger to override competition hurdles.
