MEET THE ADVISERS
THE London Metal Exchange has hired Caroline Silver, one of the City’s leading dealmakers to advise on a potential sale. Silver is a managing director of Moelis, the fast-growing investment bank set up in 2007.
The Durham University graduate joined the firm in 2009 following a brief spell at Merrill Lynch and 14 years at Morgan Stanley, where she became vice chairman of global investment banking.
Rated as one of the most influential women in the City, she has specialised in deals involving financial institutions, particularly on European insurance, reinsurance and on global securities trading and processing.
Silver advised on the merger of NYSE and Euronext, the sale of Borsa Italiana to London Stock Exchange and the merger of Nasdaq with OMX.
She also assisted with LCH.Clearnet’s restructuring and takeover defence against the Lily consortium.
