Saskia Myners
Clifford ChanceClosely integrated with the office's investment management and tax groups as well as the firm's broader international resources, Clifford Chance is well-positioned to provide 'technically excellent' advice to high-profile international sponsors, including Permira, KKR and EQT, on the Luxembourg aspects of many big-ticket cross-border M&A transactions. This globally integrated, multi-disciplinary approach was recently exemplified by the firm's representation of BlackRock on its $12.5bn acquisition of Global lnfrastructure Partners, involving as it did corporate and regulatory advice from Luxembourg, London and Europe. Katia Gauzès had a key role in the aforementioned mandate and successfully balances her duties as office managing partner with a still thriving fee-earning practice. Saskia Myners is well-versed at advising funds on their own or as part of a co-investment strategy across a wide range of sectors, including energy, infrastructure and real estate. Christian Kremer is also recommended.
