PERSHING SQUARE Capital Management has been advised by Allens Arthur Robinson and Sullivan & Cromwell on its swiftly-agreed deal with Borders Group Inc.
Partner Jon Webster and senior associate Christalyne Look led the Allens team in a role advising the Australian aspects of the stock purchase agreement. A number of other practice areas within the firm were also involved including M&A, employment, superannuation, tax and intellectual property.
Christalyne Look said dealing with multiple time zones was assisted by the firm’s experience in cross-border transactions.
“We have been able to deliver advice both efficiently and effectively in a short timeframe. It is great that the two parties have been able to reach an agreement,” Look said.
It was a swift effort for the firms involved, with the matter undertaken in a relatively short timeframe. Initially, Allens had less than two days to provide their preliminary advice on the Australian issues involved.
