Chair's Note

Dear WSG Members,

I hope this edition of the Network Wire finds you well. It has been a very active first five months of the year, and I am continually impressed to see how our members successfully collaborate, participate, and contribute to the success of the WSG network. As part of our important objectives set for 2022, I have several exciting updates on various initiatives to share below.

With a continued focus on technology and innovation, a WSG network re-brand was recently launched. This included a new website with the refreshed identity visually communicating our network as a global leader and resource. We have received great positive feedback from members and external industry leaders. There are ongoing updates happening daily, so please continue to explore the website and features often.

Networking and developing business relationships continue to be what makes this network successful. We are pleased to announce we are back to in-person meetings once again. To date, we have had two in-person group meetings with an additional four group meetings on the calendar. Additionally, I am happy to report that the WSG Europe Regional Meeting 2022 will be in-person in June and the WSG Annual Meeting 2022 will take place in September. After several years of the Pandemic, members will again enjoy having the opportunity to re-connect this way.

Although in-person events are back, we continue to hold many virtual events with seven meetings to date and 3 planned in the coming months. We expect these virtual meetings will continue to be welcomed and well attended with member firm and client key speakers providing important industry topic updates. I encourage you to join practice area specific Groups and attend these events that offer a tremendous amount of member value. And, please share with your colleagues and clients.

In addition, the WSG Recruitment and Retention Committee and the WSG Regional Councils are actively working together on prospective member outreach in key targeted jurisdictions, with the goal of adding new members in these locations throughout the year. We look forward to welcoming and introducing these firms to you all as they join.

Finally, as the world deals with critical changing times, we have launched an online WSG Global Crisis Hub that includes web sections tied to the major world crisis. The Hub currently holds the War in Ukraine Crisis hub, and will soon house the Covid Hub from the previous web site. The Crisis Hub will provide a location for global articles and content, access to global crisis teams and humanitarian information among other options.

On behalf of the Executive Committee and the WSG Board of Directors, I thank you again for all your contributions and for your continued support. As always, I would like to encourage you to reach out to me with your thoughts on how we, as a group and organization, can continue to improve and grow the network.

Yours sincerely,

Stefan Erhag
Chairman

KSB Advises ARETE on Developing New Logistics Park

The park will have 21,000 square meters of space, and the total investment will exceed EUR 15 million. Upon completion, the entire park will be BREEAM certified and will meet the latest environmental requirements and standards in terms of long-term sustainability.

Bucharest, 28 March 2022: Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP) successfully represented Societatea Națională a Apelor Minerale SA in a complex dispute, generated by illegal findings of the Romanian Court of Accounts, which raised complicated issues of European and national law concerning the method of calculating the mining royalty related to the production of mineral water.

Societatea Națională a Apelor Minerale S.A. („SNAM”) is the most important company in the field of research, exploration and exploitation of natural mineral water resources in Romania, holding 45% of the licenses in the market, currently supplying, through authorized partners, approximately 75% of the volumes of natural mineral water bottled by companies active in this field.

SNAM’s arguments, as developed and presented to the court by NNDKP, were validated by the High Court of Cassation and Justice of Romania in a solution that we welcome, which confirmed, once again, the importance and priority of the principles of legality, economic freedom, legitimate expectations and of legal certainty, specific to a democratic European state, which do not allow abuses based on mere suspicion and presumption.

The NNDKP team that assisted Societatea Națională a Apelor Minerale SA during the course of the dispute included Daniela Gramaticescu, Partner, Alexandru Lăcureanu, Senior Associate, and Călin Bîrsan, Associate, members of the firm’s Dispute Resolution practice, team that has successfully managed a wide range of fiscal and other administrative disputes.

“We are pleased with the successful resolution of this dispute and the confirmation by the courts of the fairness and correctness of our defenses related to such complex technical legal matters. The solution reflects our team’s efforts, but, first of all, is the result of an impartial, objective, and very well prepared justice, which only makes us happy”, said Daniela Gramaticescu.

NNDKP's Dispute Resolution Practice coordinated by Ana Diculescu-Șova is independently recognized as a force in the area of arbitration, litigation and dispute resolution, being constantly highly ranked by reputed international guides such as Chambers and Partners, since 2007, and The European Legal 500 guide, since 2002. With 9 Partners coordinating a team of over 40 litigators active in Bucharest and in the other regional offices, NNDKP has the necessary resources to handle complex cases, which include several parties or extend over many years, and can offer sustainable strategies in order to mitigate potential future risks.

After having advised on the acquisition (including the acquisition financing) of One Telecommunications – the second-largest mobile operator in Albania, in 2019 from OTE / Deutsche Telekom and the refinancing of the original acquisition financing in 2021, at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 BOYANOV & Co. advised the sellers on the sale of One Telecommunications to the Hungarian IT service management company 4iG.

Other counsels of the deal on the Sellers’ side were Dentons and Kalo & Associates.

BLP has advised IDB Invest on its senior loan for up to $25 million to American Industrial Park S.A. de C.V. (AIP). AIP is one of the leading companies in El Salvador in the construction and administration of free trade zones and industrial parks, with more than 25 years of experience in the market. It currently manages more than 200,000 m2 of industrial space, housing 26 companies that employ more than 12,000 people. Part of AIP’s business line is power generation, which it uses both for self-consumption and for sale to the domestic grid. This ensures that AIP conducts a cleaner operation for both its own and its customers’ activities, contributing to the diversification of the energy matrix in El Salvador. The proposed financing involves two main objectives: (1) the construction of new industrial infrastructure in the Group’s new Orion Industrial Park as a free trade zone to attract and expand Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the country; and (2) the installation of solar panels on the roofs of the industrial park to meet internal demand, generating at least 7.75 MWh of clean energy per year.

This complex deal is of great importance because it increases the competitiveness of El Salvador’s industrial sector.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as structuring agents of the issuance registered in Luxemburg and governed by New York law.

Compliance of these commitments will be determined using a base line that was established as per international level methodology and best environmental standards to be verified by a third-party independent reviewer.

We are proud to be able to assist our clients in reaching their financing goals and are grateful for the trust they have placed in us.

The fund, which closed at its hard cap, has attracted commitments from a globally diverse group of top-tier institutional investors, including European, North American, Asian, and Australian investors across a range of institution types such as endowments and foundations, family offices, private pensions, public pensions, asset managers and sovereign wealth funds.

Working alongside onshore counsel Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, the Carey Olsen team advising FitzWalter on the structuring, financing and regulatory aspects of the fund's establishment as a Jersey Private Fund was led by partner James Mulholland, with assistance from senior associate Thomas MacAdie and paralegal Charlie Hurst.

James said: "It was great to assist FitzWalter Capital on the launch of its inaugural fund. Closing at the hard cap is testament to the confidence that investors have in the FitzWalter team, while the decision to establish the fund in Jersey also reinforces the jurisdiction's continued attractiveness to first time managers, particularly those who can avail of the popular Jersey Private Fund regime."
