SRS successfully advises HSBC Bank USA on the US$ 316,505,788 financing of the construction of two oil drilling platforms for the leading Mexican oil drilling company Grupo R.
William Smithson, Partner leading the deal at SRS commented: "This was a hugely complex transaction involving a large team at SRS that was skillfully and expertly coordinated by SRS Managing Associate Gonçalo Reis Martins. The transaction threw up many complex issues and took 18 months to complete and involved 9 jurisdictions. Accordingly, it was hugely satisfying to complete the deal and to work closely with leading law firms in so many important jurisdictions."
