Cross-border teams at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett are among the firms advising on the latest big private equity deal as Stonepeak snaps up an Italian infrastructure company from Carlyle. U.S.-founded buyout firm Stonepeak announced on Monday that it had agreed to acquire the 150-year-old Italian infrastructure company Forgital for a reported €1.5 billion. Both Simpson Thacher and Paul Weiss advised buyers Stonepeak. Simpson Thacher put forward a cross-border duo made up of New York corporate partner Eli Hunt and London M&A partner Paul Foote to head up the M&A advice on the deal. Paul Weiss also had a cross-border team providing legal advice on the financing side, led by a senior trio made up of European head of capital markets partner Matthew Merkle, and the two global co-chairs of finance and capital markets, Eric Wedel—who also heads up the firm's Los Angeles office—and Neel Sachdev, who also co-chairs the London office. All three joined from Kirkland & Ellis in 2023. Hogan Lovells were also part of the roster of law firms advising Stonepeak, with the central deal team led by partners Ed Fishman and Mehtap Cevher Conti from the U.S, and counsels Malcolm Parry and Faraz Naqvi from the U.K. Local Italian firm Leggence also provided advice on the deal.

⚠ DEALS DONE ⚠ Another busy H1 for the Corporate Team here at Herrington Carmichael LLP. 🤝 Below is a snapshot of the types of sales / acquisitions we've been acting on so far this year. 📑 If you're planning an acquisition or a sale in the near future, now is the perfect time to get the ball rolling (you'll no doubt have heard about the potential tax changes from the new Labour government). 💷 If there are changes to the tax regime, sales may become less tax advantageous to sellers meaning acquisitions either become more expensive for buyers, or sellers may not sell at all. Don't miss out on your opportunity for growth, or a more lucrative exit! ❗ Get in touch if you're considering an acquisition or sale to find out how we can streamline the process - you could be included in our H2 deal summaries!
