An energy client story
A valued energy-sector client rang at 6:30pm on a Friday evening and asked if he could pop over to our office – straight away. A distressed company was on the market but our client's rivals were circling. Our client was not going to miss out and wanted to purchase the target, quickly. Specialists from BCLP’s Finance, Corporate and Insolvency practices cleared their weekends and negotiated an exclusivity agreement with the administrators by 2am that same night, winning an auction and granting our client until midnight on Monday to sign the deal.
Following further intense hours of review and negotiation over the course of the weekend, the Sale & Purchase agreement was agreed and executed on time - less than 80 hours after the idea was first raised.
When the deal was completed some weeks later, it included complex group and financing restructuring, multiple joint ventures and involved legal teams from the UK and Cyprus.
