Allen & Overy (A&O), Hogan Lovells and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom are among firms to be awarded mandates on British aerospace and defence supplier Cobham’s all-cash acquisition of US communications equipment maker Aeroflex for $1.46bn.
For US advice Cobham turned to Skadden’s corporate partner Eric Cochran but on English law, the company returned to A&O led by M&A partner Richard Browne.
