Linklaters and Latham & Watkins have taken up key roles on the €2.4 billion sale of a majority stake in Paris-based customer service provider, Webhelp.

The business, which is currently controlled by private equity giant KKR, is being sold to another Belgium-based investment giant, Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL). According to Linklaters, the deal is the largest leveraged buyout in France this year.
