M&A Team of the Year
Herbert Smith's regional focus on India and Africa combined neatly with its telecoms expertise to land it the plum role advising Bharti Airtel on its £7bn acquisition of Zain Africa, which operated in no fewer than 15 African countries. This was the second-largest overseas acquisition by an Indian company ever and handed Herbert Smith a unique set of logistical and technical challenges. The team was led by corporate partners Michael Walter and Alan Montgomery and head of global TMT Nick Elverston. Merger deals involving telecoms companies always tend to be complex because of the regulatory implications of such deals. The fact that this transaction spanned 15 African countries, including the likes of Chad, Congo-Brazzaville and Uganda, made securing regulatory approval particularly difficult.
