DLA Piper is pleased to welcome Miguel Colebrook as a Managing Director in the Corporate practice. He will be affiliated with the New York office.
Colebrook focuses his practice on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, investments, and strategic joint ventures. He has extensive experience representing clients in the Middle East and other strategic jurisdictions. He frequently advises some of the world’s most dynamic businesses and their investors on a broad range of complex and strategic transactions and possesses deep experience across the full spectrum of private capital structures, from disruptive venture investments to private equity-backed market-defining buyouts.
Highlights of Colebrook’s experience include: representing a global leading investment firm in connection with the investment in Finland’s largest electricity distribution company; advising the purchaser in relation to the acquisition of energy infrastructure and storage terminals assets from a Swiss multinational company, consisting of infrastructure assets located in multiple countries worldwide; and counseling a majority state-owned petroleum and natural gas company in its lead investment in the financing of a developer of heat transfer fluids that reduce energy consumption.
“Miguel’s addition to the firm will be pivotal for the expansion of our cross-border M&A, private equity, and venture capital capabilities, and his geographical experience in the Gulf Cooperation Council region and Saudi Arabia will be equally important to servicing our clients in the energy, infrastructure, and technology sectors,” said Andy Gilbert, US Chair of DLA Piper’s Corporate practice.
