Premier Foods' £2 billion offer for RHM

Pages were stamped by the UKLA on the last business day before Christmas. We worked to a very tight deadline and our dedication was rewarded by excellent references:

"This was a particularly difficult job for various reasons including the very tight timeframe, the size of the documents and the fact that they were stamped by the UKLA on the last business day before Christmas. We found that the whole process was run very smoothly. The flexibility you showed to accommodate our many timing changes at short notice was invaluable. The lawyers have been very complementary about the speed with which new drafts of the documents were turned around and the high quality work. Both clients are also very happy. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Imprima to any of my colleagues."
