History

The firm was co-founded by Rupert Hambro, George Magan, Baron Magan of Castletown and Alton Irby III in 1988.[1][2][3]

It had 40 employees, including Sir Michael Richardson.[1] According to The Wall Street Journal, the firm "advised Rhone-Poulenc Rorer on its 1.8 billion pound acquisition of Fisons PLC, Swiss Bank Corp. on its 860 million pound acquisition of S.G. Warburg & Co. and United News & Media on its 2.9 billion pound merger with MAI PLC."

It was acquired by NatWest Markets in 1996.[3][4]

gollark: "Benefit to society" is vague and seems to mostly just work as a bludgeon to complain about things which don't have some obvious and Morally Pure™ justification to exist.
gollark: I'm speaking (typing) in general, I mean.
gollark: I suppose you could say that the "negative contribution to society" outweighs the positive one, which is more likely to be true for illegal stuff than legal stuff, at least.
gollark: Sure?
gollark: Ultimately someone is paying for these jobs, but there's frequently enough indirection that it becomes nearly-meaningless.
