Ogier has advised on the $22.5 billion merger between Randgold
Resources and Barrick Gold which has been approved by the Jersey
court, creating the world’s biggest gold mining company.
The merger – effected by way of a Jersey Scheme of
Arrangement – brings together two of the world’s
biggest mining firms, and creates a new market leader in gold
mining.
An Ogier team led by partners Raulin Amy (corporate) and Nick
Williams (dispute resolution) led the team advising Randgold, a
long-standing client of the firm, on the Jersey law aspects of the
merger alongside Norton Rose Fulbright in London and New York.
The team included corporate managing associate Alexander Curry
and dispute resolution senior associate James Angus.
