Linklaters has instructed fellow magic circle firm Slaughter and May to advise in relation to the firm’s professional negligence dispute with banking giant Credit Suisse and Linklaters’ subsequent related claim against former Italian alliance partner Gianni Origoni Grippo & Partners.
Linklaters has appointed Slaughters dispute resolution partner Deborah Finkler to defend the firm against the €136m (£115m) claim brought by Credit Suisse earlier this month, which relates to advice given by the magic circle firm to the bank on a bond deal with Italian food company Parmalat nearly 10 years ago.
