Denton Wilde Sapte, Fulbright & Jaworski and Ashurst have played key roles in the E647m (£556m) consortium acquisition of the oil and gas division of Oranje-Nassau Groep.

The deal saw a consortium led by Dyas UK, including ONH and Sumitomo, acquire oil and gas exploration and production company Oranje-Nassau Energie from Oranje-Nassau.

Dentons advised Japan's Sumitomo as majority purchaser of the assets, which cover the British and Dutch North Seas as well as Gabon.
