Firms: Baker McKenzie (UBS)
Value: $350 million
Area: Finance
Key players: The Bakers team advising UBS was led by partner Lauren Magraith. Senior associate Hoda Nahlous and associate Ivo Basoski assisted in the deal.
Deal significance: The funds raised by this deal will be put towards Qube’s development at Moorebank, NSW, along with other growth projects.
According to Bakers, the Moorebank logistics site is the largest intermodal precinct in Australia.
Lead partner Lauren Magraith said: “We were delighted to act for our client, UBS, as the sole lead manager and underwriter on another raising for Qube Holdings.
