The mandate will help the London team deliver on a goal through which it is meant to generate 70 per cent of its assignments domestically, with only 30 per cent coming as referrals from the US. Crucial to the win of the contract is Ed Lukins who joined Cooley from Morrison & Foerster. He also advised IGas at MoFo. The firm is advising on a £168m deal which allows the Slaughter and May client, INEOS, access to various IGas sites and hands over a shale gas licence in Scotland. Source: Legal Business
