Linklaters, working with BonelliErede, has advised Metinvest on entering into a shareholders’ agreement with Danieli for the construction of a green steel facility in Piombino, Italy.
Metinvest is a steel and mining group. According to Linklaters, Metinvest Adria will develop and operate the eco-friendly steel rolling plant in Piombino, Tuscany. The facility will employ electric arc furnace technology and utilize recycled materials – such as scrap, pig iron, and direct reduced iron, partly sourced from Metinvest’s Ukrainian operations – to achieve an annual production capacity of 2.7 million tons.
In 2020, Linklaters advised on Metinvest's USD 333 million eurobond issue and cash tender offer (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on October 20, 2020).
The Linklaters team included Partner Dan Cousens, Managing Associates Piotr Zbyszynski, Michal Szperzynski, Wojciech Podlasin, and Filip Stawicki, and Associates Zuzanna Oldfield and Yuliia Stepanyk.
