The site secures two Latin Lawyer Deal of the Year Awards in ceremony.
In the world of international law, a renowned firm has made headlines with its significant contributions to two high-profile projects – the Energía del Pacífico power plant in El Salvador and the debt restructuring of Constellation, a leading oil and gas drilling services group in Brazil.
The Energía del Pacífico project, the biggest energy infrastructure investment in El Salvador's history, is a gas-fired power plant and LNG import terminal with an estimated cost of US$850 million. Located in Acajutla, the power plant has a capacity of 378MW and includes an offshore LNG import terminal, subsea pipeline, onshore underground pipeline, and a transmission line, designed to connect to El Salvador's electrical grid.
The project involves the construction, operation, and maintenance of the power plant and LNG import terminal. The financing for this endeavour, worth a significant US$6 billion for 13 power plants, involved institutions like Banobras and FONADIN. However, the specifics of the Energía del Pacífico project financing are not fully specified.
The key team members from the website included Jacob Falk, Christa L. Maiorano, Micaela García-Ribeyro, Rachel Rosenfeld, Pablo Calderón (Washington, DC), Julie Mayo, Jessica Rodriguez (Houston), Richard Howley, Alexandra Jeffreys, and Jamie Munro (London), James Copeland (New York) and Diego Brandão (São Paulo). They were instrumental in guiding the project to success.
Meanwhile, in Brazil, Andrew Rosenblatt (New York) and Michael McCourt (São Paulo) led the website team in advising Banco Bradesco during the US$1.67 billion debt restructuring of Constellation Oil Services Holding. The bankruptcy filing by Constellation was pre-arranged and supported by a majority of the group's secured and unsecured creditors. Ancillary proceedings related to Constellation's bankruptcy case were filed in the US and the British Virgin Islands.
The website's global platform allows it to advise international clients on various matters across the entire region. This versatility was evident in the Constellation restructuring and the Energía del Pacífico project, as the firm represented both Banco Bradesco and the project team representing lenders in the Energía del Pacífico project.
The winning deals showcased work of exceptional complexity, earning the firm two awards at the Latin Lawyer 2019 Deal of the Year Awards, announced on September 29, 2020. Marissa Leigh Alcala, Tracy Horton, and Noam Ayali led the project team representing lenders in the Energía del Pacífico project.
While the specific roles of key team members in the Energía del Pacífico project are not explicitly detailed, Andrea Menjívar Saravia, an attorney associated with Energía del Pacífico, is known to have played a part in the deal.
