• Management Buyout

  Cross-Border

  In the summer of 2022, the senior management of a substantial industrial group approached us to structure and negotiate the acquisition of operating plants from a foreign owner. The business manufactures precision measuring instruments used in oil and gas production — assets that had to keep running through closing, not sit in a holding pattern while the paper was fought over.

• A Port and a Coal Mine to Boot

  Asia-Pacific

  In 2018 a large private equity fund asked us to re-paper two of its core industrial holdings: a Pacific-facing bulk port and a large-scale coal mining complex. The question was not whether the assets worked. It was whether the ownership and contract architecture still did.

• EPC – ethylene, helium and beyond

  Asia-Pacific

  In the early 2010s, a client - an independent oil company that had been dynamically developing for over twenty years - conducted laboratory research and discovered ethane in its extracted oil in volumes sufficient for its industrial use in the petrochemical industry. The idea of commercial development of associated gas for the construction of an ethylene and polyethylene production plant was born. By the beginning of 2018, it was decided to organize a tender to select a leading internationally recognized contractor to enter into a contract with the winning participant for engineering, manufacture and supply of production equipment and commissioning work.

• First Tokenized Index Fund, South Africa

  Africa

  At the end of July 2017, Andrei Danilov, the firm’s managing partner, returned from vacation and found himself in the midst of unexpected events. A former colleague approached the firm for legal advice with a request to help a group of applied mathematicians from South Africa conduct an ICO - a public offering of cryptocurrency on the international market. At that time, our company had limited legal expertise in the field of blockchain having only participated in a few crowdfunding projects before. Two months later, the firm was one of the few in the world (this is not a typo) with expertise in ICO, having essentially developed a template for a white paper widely used since then in the market.

  In October 2013 the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development of Uganda opened a tender for a new midstream and refining complex: a 60,000 barrel-per-day refinery at Kabaale in the Hoima District, a 211-kilometre multi-product pipeline to a distribution hub at Namwambula in the Mpigi District, a refined-product storage terminal at the same hub, and a raw-water line from Lake Albert to the refinery site. Commercial operations were then planned for 2017–2018. The stated aim was a refinery with a decisive position in the East African products market.
