In the largest deal of the week, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of energy company Allete for $6.2 billion, including debt assumption.
What makes this transaction unique? In an industry still dominated mostly by men, the lawyers who led the deal were all women.
Kirkland & Ellis counseled GIP and CPPIB, including corporate partners Melissa Kalka and Emily Lichtenheld. Kirkland partner Mary Kogut took the lead on finance and partner Brooksany Barrowes led on regulatory matters.
Julie Ashworth, partner and general counsel at GIP in New York, and Maxine Ethier, a managing director in the legal department of CPPIB in Toronto, led the deal in-house on the buy-side. Allete’s CEO (Bethany Owen) and chief legal officer (Maggie Thickens) are both female and Skadden partner Emily Prezioso Walsh in Washington, D.C., played a leading role advising Allete.
Kirkland’s Kalka, who is based in Dallas and was formerly an associate at Winston & Strawn and Jones Day, also co-led the M&A team counseling GIP on its acquisition by BlackRock Inc. this past January in a $12 billion transaction.
That’s not all. She advised Dave & Buster’s Entertainment Inc. on its purchase of Main Event from Australia’s Ardent Leisure Group Ltd. and RedBird Capital Partners for $835 million; KKR and the acquiring consortium (including GIP) on the $15 billion take-private of CyrusOne and later CyrusOne’s $7 billion partnership with KEPCO; and Vista-backed Solera Holdings in the acquisition of Spireon from Greenbriar Equity Group for undisclosed terms.
Austin-based Emily Lichtenheld is no deal slouch, either, advising Six Flags Entertainment Corp. on its $8 billion merger with Cedar Fair, chemical company Celanese Corp. on acquiring DuPont’s mobility and materials unit for $11 billion and private equity-backed Colgate Energy Partners III on its sale to publicly traded Centennial Resource Development Inc. for $3.9 billion. She was previously an associate at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York and made partner at Kirkland in 2021.
Energy was back in a big way. So was M&A. The week ending May 11 saw 22 deals valued at $14.9 billion, including 16 M&A/Funding transactions valued at $11.1 billion. Compare that with the week prior, which saw 13 deals for $3.1 billion and the 12 deals for $7 billion at the same time last year.

The company intends to use net proceeds after deduction of initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses to repay borrowings under its senior secured credit facility and for general partnership purposes. According to S&P, the company had about $860 million of outstanding borrowings under its $1.75 billion senior secured credit facility at year-end, and including the new issue and repayment of $361 million in borrowings under its facility year-to-date, Hilcorp will have about $7 million drawn. The offering will extend Hilcorp’s weighted-average maturity to seven years from 6.3 years and S&P notes that its liquidity profile is underpinned by target minimum liquidity of $800 million under the facility.

Also advising were partners Damien Lyster and associate Ryan Hoeffner (regulatory), partner Wendy Salinas and associate Tyler Underwood (tax), partner Matthew Dobbins and associate Kelly Rondinelli (environmental) and partner Darin Schultz and associates Taylor Daily and Lary Yau (finance).
