Brown & Brown

Brown Rudnick Represents KBC Bank in £40 Million Buy-Out of Windsor, a Leading Lloyd’s Insurance Broker
Attorney Advertising Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome– Brown Rudnick, a premier international law firm, recently advised KBC Bank in a £40m buy-out of Windsor, a leading Lloyd’s insurance broker. The deal took Windsor PLC from a public to private company and was
structured through a mix of debt and equity financing. KBC Bank provided a senior debt facility of £19m.

The Brown Rudnick legal team of Neil Pigott, Partner, and Anne-France Catoir, Associate, acted as counsel for KBC Bank. Mr. Pigott commented, “The transaction was stimulating given the aggressive timetable to agree the documentation ahead of the scheme of arrangement, the fully negotiated intercreditor arrangements with a junior lender, the nature of the business involved and some interesting features negotiated into the credit documentation. The bank's counterparties were very well represented by experienced and commercially minded counsel who helped enormously in getting the documents agreed on schedule
