Weil Gotshal & Manges has advised international building materials company Hanson on its public offer of £382m of bonds taken down from the company’s earlier £950m US-registered ‘shelf programme’.

The shelf programme allows Hanson to raise funds on debt securities up to a cap of $1.4bn (£950m) agreed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in January – when Hanson was also advised by Weil Gotshal.
