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.
