International law firm McDermott Will & Schulte has advised H.I.G. Infrastructure, as Sponsor, in connection with the acquisition financing of the Fluo Group by Capital Four and Allianz Investment Group.

H.I.G. Infrastructure focuses on making value-add and core plus investments in the infrastructure sector, and is an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, LLC –  a leading global alternative investment firm with $70 billion of capital under management. Based in Miami, and with offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Stamford in the United States, as well as international affiliate offices in Hamburg, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Bogotá, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Dubai, and Hong Kong, H.I.G. specializes in providing both debt and equity capital to middle market companies, utilizing a flexible and operationally focused/value-added approach. Since its founding in 1993, H.I.G. has invested in and managed more than 400 companies worldwide. The Firm’s current portfolio includes more than 100 companies with combined sales in excess of $53 billion.

Fluo Group is a Finnish circular economy leader, providing integrated operations across the waste management and waste-to-product value chains.

The McDermott finance team delivered seamless execution across jurisdictions, managing a dual-track commitment process for both lenders and navigating the subsequent long-form documentation under English and Finnish law. The transaction was completed on an accelerated timeline due to SPA conditionality, with the team ensuring the financing structure retained a high degree of flexibility for both the Sponsor and the target group.

The team was led by partner and European Head of Finance, Aymen Mahmoud, with support from counsel Giulia Venanzoni and associate Bethany Drayton.
