Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton LLP in New York and Chilean firm Prieto Abogados have helped Chile's state-owned miner Codelco refinance a US$300 million loan.
The lender, Export Development Canada (EDC), hired Hogan Lovells LLP's New York office and Chilean firm Carey.
The financing closed on 24 July.
EDC granted the original US$300 million loan to Codelco in July 2013, with this refinancing extending its maturity from July 2018 to July 2022.
