Skadden received three Latin Lawyer Deal of the Year awards at the publication’s 19th annual awards ceremony, recognizing our work in some of the most transformative transactions in the region.
The firm was recognized in the following categories:
- M&A: Public Companies for representing Grupo Argos in its agreement with Grupo Nutresa, Grupo Sura, IHC Capital Holding and companies controlled by Jaime Gilinski, resulting in, among other things, Argos transferring all of its shares in Nutresa’s food business in exchange for all the shares of Argos and Sura held by IHC, Gilinski and Nutresa. The agreement follows a multibillion-dollar stake-building campaign by Gilinski and IHC that involved a series of unsolicited tender offers over more than 18 months that sought control of Nutresa, Sura and Argos.
- Private Equity for representing Compass Group in its business combination with Vinci Partners Investments Ltd. to create a pan-regional platform managing more than $50 billion in assets across private markets, investment products and solutions, public equities and corporate advisory segments.
- Regulatory for representing Citigroup Inc. in the separation in Mexico of its institutional banking business from its consumer, small business and middle market businesses.
