"Julius & Creasy without doubt belongs in the top tier," says a peer. The firm has shrugged off perceptions that it is an aging player and cast a list of young partners in leading roles on big deals over the last year. A competitor comments: "There might be a perception among some that there is a disconnect between senior practitioners and the next level, but I've worked across the table with found them to be very able and hardworking partners."
The firm's prominence is evidenced by its role in the highlight deal involving a bond offering by the government of Sri Lanka, where it advised lead managers HSBC, JPMorgan Securities and RBS. The transaction was valued at $500 million and completed in October 2010.
The firm advised China Development Bank in granting a credit facility to the Government of Sri Lanka in the past year. This transaction was completed in January 2011 and valued at $153 million.
Clients praise the firm on its excellent service: "In our experience, the accessibility, responsiveness and clarity have been impeccable."
In a deal that may severely impact the beer industry in Sri Lanka, the firm represented Cargills (Ceylon) and its subsidiary Millers Brewery in its acquisition of McCallum Brewing, McCallum Breweries (Ceylon) and The Three Coins Company. This matter involves acquiring a 5% market share in the domestic beer industry.
