Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)

Mr. Alan Stewart:
Yes, prior to the bid. The legal advisers Cerberus had retained prior to the bid who were very active in the data room on their behalf were Linklaters and A&L Goodbody, two other firms. That is partially why I was shocked when I heard last year that Cerberus was retaining Brown Rudnick because I could not understand why it would have a need to retain another legal firm when it had two full service firms which were so active.
