Experiência
Sapura
- Advised the financial creditors to the debtor group on the companies’ consensual restructuring proposal. The assets of the debtor group are located all around the world. The restructuring is therefore necessarily global, involving entities, business, and operations in more than 20 countries. The geographic sprawl of the debtor group makes this restructuring particularly complex.
Cell C
- Advised China Development Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the main creditors in the restructuring and recapitalization of Cell C, which is a major and strategically diverse South African telecommunication corporation, on the complicated restructuring, including the assignment of part of its loans to a major financial institution at the conclusion of the debt restructuring. The deal was recognized as a Cross-Border Deal of the Year by China Law Business Journal.
