Investment Assistance

Our client, a global metals manufacturer, sought the acquisition of facilities in Russia in the face of domestic opposition.  Our team understood the critical risk to the transaction was the opposition of a key Russian political constituency during an election year. In response, we facilitated the client’s efforts with key Moscow players and the Russian regional Governor, and initiated side negotiations with non-governmental stakeholders to neutralize opposition to the deal.

Result: A successful $200M transaction, with broad Russian stakeholder support.
