Clyde & Co and 3 Verulam Buildings (3VB) have won roles on the multimillion-pound dispute between Liverpool FC’s former owners and RBS.

Clydes is advising US businessmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett, who claim that they lost around £140m when they were pushed into the sale of Liverpool FC by RBS in 2010, arguing that the club was sold at a significant undervalue.
