Correction, 7/20/12, 4:20 p.m. EDT: The original version of this story incorrectly reported on a successful deal involving the privatization of public facilities for which Mayer Brown advised the City of Chicago. It was the $1.83 billion privatization of the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge. The 12th paragraph of this story has been revised to include the correct information. We regret the error.
Keen to divest assets and pay down debt, French waste and water utility Veolia Environnement has kept its outside lawyers busy lately with a pair of transactions totaling more than $3 billion.
