‘A go-to law firm due to the exceptional client service and the consistently high quality of its lawyers across all areas’, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP regularly acts on takeovers, acquisitions and divestments for a range of top-end infrastructure funds and private equity groups. Digital infrastructure also remains a core component of the team’s work, with recent standout deals concerning smart metering, data centres, telecom towers and fibre.
