Linklaters and Clifford Chance (CC) have won roles on two financing deals for Glencore worth nearly $16bn (£10bn) in total.

The most recent financing was signed last month (25 April) and saw the mining giant raise $12.5bn (£7.7bn) for Glencore International and Glencore Singapore, through revolving credit facilities with a syndicate of 91 banks. Earlier in April the commodities giant set up a $3.1bn (£1.9bn) liquidity facility, relating to its ongoing merger with rival mining giant Xstrata, backed by a 30-strong banking consortium.
