The firm acted on the first ever bond issuance by a Georgian government entity, advising JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch on the $250 million bond issued by Georgian Railways in July 2010 opposite global counsel Dewey & LeBoeuf.
The firm acted opposite the US firm in two further deals including an $8 million financing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for the infrastructure rehabilitation of the Poti Sea Port, and a $500 million deal involving restructuring of Georgian sovereign bonds, a tender offer and issue new ten year maturity bonds arranged by clients JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
In a fourth deal, still pending at the time of writing in July 2011, the firm was advising Dutch bank FMO on a $15 million financing for the largest real estate property development to create a new residential area outside of Tbilisi.
