Centerview Partners, a US boutique investment bank chasing the top spot in the mergers and acquisitions advisory rankings, is to work alongside Goldman Sachs advising Tiffany on a review of the $14.5bn offer by LVMH to buy the jeweller.

Tiffany confirmed it had been approached by the luxury-goods company — the owner of the Louis Vuitton brand — in a statement on October 28, following the French group’s earlier notification.
