Clifford Chance

Clifford Chance's Infrastructure Group maintained its top-tier status in the recently published Legal 500 UK 2014 rankings. Brendan Moylan and Gavin Teague were named as leading individuals with Michael Bates and Amy Mahon receiving praise as being "excellent at financing" and "legal and commercial" respectively.

These rankings endorse our multi-disciplinary team who advise on a diverse range of infrastructure related transactions and projects and have been involved in the most significant infrastructure transactions in the UK and internationally. Recent examples include advising:

• funds managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co on their acquisition of the Hydriades group of companies, which includes South Staffordshire Water and Cambridge Water;
• the arranging banks on the innovative transaction to refinance Arqiva's debt through a complex combination of a whole business securitisation, loans and high yield bonds; and
• the senior lenders in relation to the award-winning c. £1.6 billion financing of the procurement of new Siemens rolling stock for the Thameslink network, the most complex single UK rolling stock procurement to date.
