Highly-regarded law firms Weil, Gotshal & Manges, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Wong & Partners, the Malaysian associate firm of Baker McKenzie, have been instrumental in the $3.9 billion acquisition of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) by private equity fund Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP). The acquisition was part of an offer made by a consortium led by Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional Berhad and the country’s Employees’ Provident Fund, with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority also included in the group.
