Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton has bagged a lead role advising on the $2.93bn (£1.48bn) initial public offering (IPO) of Indian energy group Reliance Power – understood to be the largest IPO seen to date in the key emerging market.
Cleary advised the underwriters, led by investment banks Kotak Mahindra Capital Company and UBS Securities India, on the listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India.
Hong Kong-based capital markets partner David Hirsch led a team for the New York firm that also included associates Chris Fazekas, Xuemei Lu and Jane Shen.
