Chile’s Barros Letelier & Cía has advised Entel Telecomunicaciones in its purchase of fellow telecoms company TransAm Comunicaciones and its affiliate, wireless services provider Will.
Vergara & Labarca assisted TransAm in the purchase contract and deal structuring while Bahamondez, Alvarez & Zegers advised the company on corporate and regulation issues.
According to the stock purchase agreement, which closed last week, Entel will acquire 100 per cent of the shares for some US$27 million. However, the parties are still negotiating a possible price adjustment.
Barros Letelier also assisted Entel in a 2009 case where the Supreme Court ruled in favour of establishing a spectrum limit for existing mobile phone operators wishing to bid for new 3G license concessions.
