Macfarlanes has become the latest law firm to take a role on the protracted Liverpool Football Club takeover saga, representing a Singapore billionaire who has lodged a bid for the Premier League club.

The City law firm is advising Peter Lim, who is reportedly set to make an increased offer for the club after last week losing out to US sports group New England Sport Ventures (NESV), whose £300m bid was accepted by the club's board.

Clifford Chance's former Singapore joint venture firm Wong Partnership is also reportedly advising Lim, who was this year named in Forbes magazine's list of Singapore's richest, with an estimated wealth of $1.6bn (£1bn).

An improved offer from Lim could potentially impact on the court dispute over the NESV bid, which is set to be heard tomorrow (12 October) in the Chancery Division of the High Court by Mr Justice Floyd.

The NESV deal has been challenged by the US owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, who believe the bid undervalues the club.

Macfarlanes, which this year posted profits per equity partner of £710,000, is the latest in a raft of legal advisers to win advisory roles relating to the ongoing takeover.

One Essex Court's Lord Grabiner QC and Jamie Goldsmith are representing Liverpool FC's board alongside magic circle firm Slaughter and May, while City firm Peters & Peters, Paul Girolami QC of Maitland Chambers and junior counsel from Brick Court Chambers are acting for Hicks and Gillett.

US firms Weil Gotshal & Manges and Shearman & Sterling have also secured roles advising on transactional aspects of the takeover.

Really encouraged to see RBS come out with that statement today. It's great to see that Barcap, RBS, Broughton, Ayre and Purslow all seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet. It's a real worry to see the words 'administration' and '9-point deduction' being bandied about in the press but it seems as if RBS are working hard to ensure that this eventuality is avoided and that unltimately, they get their money back. Fingers crossed the end is in sight for this sorry sorry affair. Even the bit of me that is desperate to see Hicks and Gillette bankrupt and out of the club with not a penny to show has mellowed slightly. Just want them out and the whole thing to be over and for the focus to be on the football and nothing but the football.

Well this bullshtter from Singapour could have really put a spanner in the works offering more than NESV.

[Madmax]

NESV are worth more than this fella, his put a twist in the case for sure but what i don't understand is does he still have a say in who could take over.. I thought NESV has got priority now or is it going to be a bidding war. Wouldn't be surprised if his hicks buddy and is just there to mess things up.

NESV unfazed by Lim messages. They have a signed deal with LFC board. If court approves that deal is as good as done.

what the eff does he need advice for? his bid wasnt accepted, a deal has been reached with NESV, and all thats left is a judgment in ours and Henry's favor. can someone please explain to me if this MOFO Lim has any case? its not as if Broughton breached any terms right?

[parchpea]

They have done the deal already and would be astonished if they backed away now even for an improved offer. Months of work down the pan too. Still, it all adds to the drama, it may be nerve wracking not to say nail biting with your clubs future hanging in the balance but its certainly great drama and considerably more entertaining than anything weve managed on the park for a long while
