The London School of Economics and Political Science is the world’s foremost university institution specifically focussed on social science, and this year ranked number 3 in all three main UK university rankings.
The Pinsent Masons team advising on the deal was led by banking partner Edward Sunderland, assisted by tax partner Eloise Walker, and senior associates Esther Parkes and Gayle Ditchburn.

Commenting on the deal Edward Sunderland said: "We were delighted to assist the LSE with this ground breaking transaction. As one of the leading advisors to universities, coupled with our strong capital markets expertise, we were ideally placed to help guide the LSE through this complex and significant deal. Acting as sole English legal advisor we helped them achieve their long term strategic goals."
