International law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has advised Alcatel Lucent on its high yield debt offering of €500 million in principal amount of 8.50% Senior Notes.
The Freshfields team included London-based partners, Don Guiney and Sarah Murphy, Paris-based partners, Dougall Molson and David Revcolevschi, London-based associates Dan Mcnamee and Amanda Jantzi and Paris-based counsel Lee Neumann, supported by Freshfields’ London and Paris corporate, finance and tax practice groups.
Sarah Murphy, head of Freshfields’ European-based US practice and co-head of its International Capital Markets Group commented: ‘The Alcatel Lucent high yield transaction is another example of the strength and depth of our European high yield team, which has been significantly strengthened with the addition of our new high yield partner Gil Strauss. It also further demonstrates our ability to adapt the high yield product to client and market needs.’
Deals completed since Gil’s arrival include: the innovative infrastructure holding company high yield for BAA (led by Sarah Murphy) and the German law governed high yield for KUKA Robotics (led by Gil Strauss).
