Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Clifford Chance (CC) are advising on CVC Capital Partners’ takeover bid for online betting exchange Betfair Group.

A Freshfields team led by corporate partner Martin Taylor is acting for the betting company, which on Monday (22 April) rejected an offer of £8.80 per Betfair share, on the basis that it “fundamentally undervalues the company and its prospects, and is highly conditional.”
