Latin Finance 2019 “Cross-Border Deal of the Year” for 2019 Global Transportadora Associada de Gás (CDPQ, Engie)
Mayer Brown and Tauil & Chequer (T&C) in association with Mayer Brown advised on the transaction that was recognized by LatinFinance as its “Cross Border M&A Deal of the Year” for 2019.

T&C represented Le Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), GDF International and Engie Brasil Energia S.A. in the acquisition of a 90 percent shareholding stake in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (TAG) from Petrobras, with a final and binding offer of US$8.6 billion. The acquisition of TAG – the largest natural gas transportation company in Brazil, with approximately 4,500 km of gas pipeline infrastructure located along the coast of the northeast and southeast regions, in addition to a pipeline in the north – is Engie’s debut in the natural gas segment in Brazil and CDPQ's first infrastructure investment in Brazil. T&C played a prominent role in this groundbreaking transaction in a challenging regulatory environment by advising CDPQ and Engie in corporate, regulatory, tax, compliance, litigation, real estate, labor and antitrust aspects.

Innovations could include converting parking spaces into electric vehicle charging stations.
