Cuatrecasas has advised Platinum Equity on the sale of the Spanish environmental services giant Urbaser to a consortium formed by the US private equity firm Blackstone and Sweden’s EQT.
Following the transaction, valued at €5.8 billion, Blackstone and EQT will each hold a 50% stake in Urbaser and will jointly manage a company that, founded more than three decades ago, is a leading provider of integrated waste management and environmental services solutions. Its activity focuses on maximising recycling and resource generation through long-term contracts with municipalities and industrial clients.
Platinum Equity, which has worked in recent years to strengthen Urbaser’s business and unlock its full potential, is a global firm specialising in mergers and acquisitions and in the acquisition of companies providing technology, communications, manufacturing, healthcare and other services. With a portfolio of fifty companies across different sectors and geographies and offices in more than twenty countries, it operates as a private equity firm, providing financing and additional resources to the companies it acquires.
The Cuatrecasas team advising on the transaction was made up of lawyers Javier Martí-Fluxá, José Luis Rodríguez, Sora Park, Guido Samir Adlaoui, Ricardo Ramírez-Montesinos and Carmen Baamonde, from the Corporate group
