It is the Welsh Government senior official with responsibility for managing the TVR account, who attends meetings. We have no voting rights at the company Board meetings but the person attending can make informal observations, though it is not within the remit of the role of the observer to make an active contribution in any decision making. The main function of the observer is to monitor discussions. Prior to committing to the share purchase, we commissioned commercial and legal due diligence from the Automotive Sector Team within KPMG, Hugh James Solicitors and also received advice from Finance Wales, drawing on their broad experience of this type of transaction.

    Lateral Partner Moves in London January - February 2018 REPRESENTATION – SEARCH – TEAM MOVES www.edwardsgibson.com Welcome to the latest round up of lateral partner moves in the legal market from Edwards Gibson where we look back at announced partner-level recruitment activity in London over the past two months and give you a ‘who’s moved where’ update. In all there was a total of 91 lateral partner moves announced in this round up – 22% down on the same period last year when the figures were artificially buoyed by the collapse of King & Wood Mallesons’ European verein. Although fewer than the preceding two years, the number of moves in this edition corresponds almost exactly to the statistical average over the same period for the past 5 years (see graph below).
