Ex-UK chancellor Osborne joins Robey Warshaw

摘要

Former UK chancellor George Osborne is to become a partner at robey warshaw, joining the M&A advisory boutique in early April and stepping down as editor-in-chief of the London Evening Standard and senior adviser to the BlackRock Investment Institute. Osborne was chancellor from 2010 until 2016. He stood down after the campaign for the UK to remain in the European Union, which he backed, was rejected in a referendum. Osborne will join Robey Warshaw as takeover activity in the UK is set to come under more scrutiny. Advisers are grappling with extra procedures around competition clearance and debt restructurings that came in when Brexit took effect at the start of this year.
