Allen & Overy (A&O), Slaughter and May and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer are among the top City firms winning roles on the UK Government's £37bn bailout of three of the country's biggest banks. Freshfields has reprised its role for longstanding client the Bank of England on the rescue plan, fielding a team under corporate partner Michael Raffan. Slaughters is acting for the Treasury on the agreement, which will lead to the Government owning a majority stake in Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and a stake of 43% in the merged HBOS and Lloyds TSB.
