Kirkland & Ellis, Clifford Chance (CC) and Uria Menendez have taken lead roles on Telefonica’s €1bn (£807m) sale of call centre business Atento to Bain Capital.

The deal saw Bain secure three buyouts of the Spanish, Mexican and Brazilian arms of Atento, backed by loans in each of the jurisdictions. There will also be a capital markets issuance in Brazil when the deal closes.
