A&O Shearman represents Liberty Global and VodafoneZiggo on sale of mobile tower infrastructure to consortium
A&O Shearman advised Liberty Global and VodafoneZiggo on the intended sale of VodafoneZiggo's passive mobile tower infrastructure to an entity jointly owned by funds managed by DigitalBridge, TD Greystone Infrastructure and L&G for a consideration of EUR669 million. 

As demand for data continues to rise, scaled tower platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of the infrastructure that keeps Europe connected. This transaction will create a new independent tower platform with more than 6,600 sites across the Netherlands and Belgium. 

The cross-border A&O Shearman team was led by partners Justin Steer and Andrew Kenning and consisted of senior associate Baris Koca, associates Isabel Rutten and Eleni van Nijf from Amsterdam, together with senior associate Joseph Lyons and associate Katherine James from London. In Amsterdam, Justin worked alongside partners Sophie Roozendaal, Godfried Kinnegim, Pieter Tieskens and Hanneke Bennaars with senior associate Marjet Bezooijen and associates Pauline van der Hijden, Wessel Grunnewald, Demy Nijenhuis and Mirte Miltenburg. In London, partner Robin Harvey and senior associate Matthew Short also assisted.
