US law firm backs Project Eagle investigations

Brown Rudnick, the US law firm which advised two bidders involved in the controversial €5.7bn of Project Eagle loans sold by Nama last year, yesterday said it would co-operate with all inquiries into the transaction.

“Brown Rudnick is fully supportive of efforts to clarify the issues that have been raised over this matter and will give every assistance to the relevant authorities,” said a spokesman.

It comes after a Stormont finance committee yesterday met to draw up a list of firms and people it will invite to its inquiry into the matters of the Project Eagle sale.
