CMS Cameron McKenna’s capability in Aberdeen has seen it selected ahead of fellow BG Group panel law firms Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Clifford Chance to lead the energy producer’s £562m sale of a North Sea gas pipeline to Anglo-French fund manager Antin Infrastructure Partners.
The sale, which is the largest since BG Group’s $1.9bn sale of a stake in its Queensland Curtis project in Australia to China National Offshore Oil Corporation last year, is being led by CMS’ Aberdeen-based oil and gas specialist Norman Wisely alongside London-based head of UK private equity, James Grimwood.
