Clifford Chance (CC), White & Case and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr have won roles on the bidding battle for hedge fund administrator GlobeOp, after US software company SS&C Technologies last week trumped an earlier offer from buyout house TPG Capital.

CC corporate partner Steven Fox (pictured), who joined the magic circle firm last year from Ashurst, is leading the firm’s team advising SS&C on UK law alongside CC partners Lee Coney (corporate), Roderick McGillivray (finance), Simon Crown (regulatory) and Sonia Gilbert (employment).
