Bird & Bird acted as the lead counsel to Fortum in the sale to Infracapital, the infrastructure equity investment arm of M&G Plc, of a majority shareholding in Fortum's public charging point operator (CPO) business for electrical vehicles in the Nordics.
"Despite the challenging circumstances due to the pandemic affecting more or less everyone at the moment, our cross-border team is able to accomplish significant arrangements like this, highlighting our expertise in cross-border transactions and different business sectors", says lead Partner Mikko Ahonen from Bird & Bird.
"We are grateful for our client's trust in us. Working with their top professionals is not only rewarding, but also fun", Mikko adds. "We have been very satisfied with Bird & Bird's outstanding advice in connection with the transaction", Fortum notes.
