Our sector experience
We advised S&P Global on its USD 44 billion merger with IHS Markit across more than 40 jurisdictions.
We were appointed lead counsel for post-acquisition integration work and various employment, compensation and benefits matters related to the integration.
Our assistance on the complex deal included aspects of the pre-merger structuring, intra-group funding steps and immediate post-merger cash repatriation steps, designing and implementing post-merger legal entity integration and rationalization.
This was one of the most complex deals done in 2022, taking over a year to complete.
