Latham & Watkins LLP advised Deutsche Bank, ING, and LBBW in connection with the successful syndication of a €1.8 billion internationally syndicated debt financing agreement for NeXtWind, a leading European wind energy company. The transaction involved the upsizing of the financing package from €1.4 billion to €1.8 billion due to strong global demand. The financing structure attracted leading banks and insurance companies from North America, Asia, and Europe.
