British investment firm Chrysaor Holdings has appointed BG’s chief counsel for corporate and former Legal Business GC Powerlist rising star Howard Landes as general counsel (GC).
Landes, who joined BG Group from Clifford Chance over a decade ago, ran the legal aspects in relation to Royal Dutch Shell’s $70bn takeover of BG Group which included competition anti-trust and all of the regulatory clearances. He was also the key lawyer alongside external adviser Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer on the deal, which was finalised last February.
