Weil Gotshal & Manges’ London office has closed its third private equity deal this year, advising Advent International on its £190m acquisition of pension trust Xafinity from Duke Street Capital.

The Weil team – headed up by private equity partner Marco Compagnoni alongside finance partner Michel Nicklin and private equity partner Jonathan Wood – advised long-term client Advent on the buyout of the group, which employs 1,400 staff and oversees the payment of £11bn a year to UK pensioners.
