Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom and Travers Smith 
have taken lead roles on Doughty Hanson’s £250m acquisition of oil and gas logistics company Asco.

Skadden advised the UK private equity house on the transaction, which will see the group take a majority stake in Asco. The US law firm fielded a London-based team led by corporate partner Allan Murray-Jones.
