Latin Lawyer announced the winners of the 17th edition of the Deal of the Year Awards, at a benefit ceremony held yesterday in São Paulo.
In this context, FERRERE obtained one of the winning cases, corresponding to the category "Mergers and Acquisitions: private companies", for having advised the British risk capital group Actis on the sale of Atlas, a platform for operation and maintenance of renewable energies assets and projects throughout the region, with 14 projects in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. At Latin American level, it is the second largest independent promotor of renewables, with a total installed capacity of 2.3 gigawatts.
FERRERE handled preparation of the suppliers due diligence for the competitive process, which took place from mid-2021 to the first quarter of 2022. FERRERE also advised on local law matters during the negotiations, the share purchase agreements, and the closing of the deal.
The FERRERE team was led by partner Gonzalo Secco, and included a broad team of practitioners: Isabel Hounie, Enrique Slekis, María Victoria Costa, Agustina Pérez, Federico Rodríguez and Ana Laura Oliveros.
In recent years, FERRERE has been recognized with this distinction on several occasions, alternating practice and professional areas, which reflects the breadth and quality of the services offered by the firm in its three jurisdictions.
