Key players: Baker McKenzie’s head of M&A in Australia, Richard Lustig, was assisted by lawyer Andrew Bubniw.
Deal significance: Corview is a leading provider of strategic advice for major infrastructure projects with Sydney and Brisbane offices, Baker McKenzie said, with services including strategy, planning, economics, investment and finance advice, transaction management and commercial and project delivery.
The UK-listed RPS is a global services firm encompassing more than 1,000 planning, design, environmental, project management and advisory specialists, a statement noted.
