UBS [UBS] looks set to acquire one of the oldest names in the city, the private client brokerage Laing & Cruickshank. The takeover would continue UBS's growth in the onshore European wealth management market, which it has been targeting since 2001, and would make Laing & Cruickshank's 35 partners very wealthy. However it would likely be the end of one of London's historic city brands.
