Tauil & Chequer Advogados and Mayer Brown advised NDB bank on an unprecedented financing in Brazil of USD 200 million
Tauil & Chequer Advogados in association with Mayer Brown, in Sao Paulo, and Mayer Brown International LLP, in London, advised New Development Bank (NDB) on a landmark loan agreement with Companhia Paulista de Forca e Luz (CPFL), valued at RMB 1,425,000,000.00 (approximately USD 200 million).
This transaction marks NDB's first non-sovereign loan in Brazil's electricity sector and CPFL'sfirst RMB-denominated transaction, diversifying its funding sources while reinforcing NDB's commitment to expanding local currency operations. Additionally, CPFL has become the first Chinese-funded company in Brazil to secure credit support from the New Development Bank.
NDB is a multilateral development bank established by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging markets and developing countries. Egypt, Bangladesh, and the United Arab Emirates recently joined the bank. To date, NDB has approved financing totaling USD 39.0 billion across 120 projects, the majority of which are sovereign loans.
The loan proceeds will support the expansion and modernization of CPFL's power distribution infrastructure, enhancing efficiency and extending electricity access to new households--furthering the goal of universal electricity access in Brazil. Such project is set to drive economic and social development by enabling new grid connections, with an estimated impact of bringing electricity to over 370,000 future homes and businesses across Sao Paulo in the coming years.
Additionally, by reducing technical losses in the electricity distribution network, the project will enhance energy efficiency and generate economic savings for end-users. In doing so, it will make a significant contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7--ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
From Mayer Brown in London, the legal advisors were partner Ashley McDermott and associate James England, from the Banking and Finance practice. And from our Sao Paulo office, the transaction was led by partner Eduardo Alves Lima with the participation of associate Beatriz Lavigne, both from the Banking and Finance practice.

DALLAS, Texas, March 29 -- Haynes and Boone, a law firm, issued the following news release:
* * *
Haynes Boone Protects Corelle Brands' Reorganization Success with Appellate Win
Haynes Boone successfully defended Corelle Brands' Chapter 11 reorganization plan in a contract dispute with Guangdong Midea Consumer Electric Manufacturing Company. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas affirmed the bankruptcy court's ruling, rejecting Midea's appeal and upholding Corelle's indemnity rights under Texas contract law.
Midea, a supplier to Corelle, objected to Corelle's confirmedreorganization plan, arguing that purchase orders issued under a master supply agreement were indivisible from the agreement itself. The bankruptcy court ruled in Corelle's favor, separating purchase orders from a master supply agreement, a critical distinction and precedent that preserves flexible restructuring options for corporations navigating financial challenges.
Haynes Boone previously represented Corelle in its successful Chapter 11 reorganization, which the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas confirmed in February 2024.
Haynes Boone's team included Partners Charlie Beckham, Arsalan Muhammad and Natasha Breaux along with Counsel Kourtney Lyda and Associate David Trausch.
Jones Day served as co-counsel with Haynes Boone in the appeal.
Haynes Boone's Restructuring Practice Group handles issues in complex restructurings and Chapter 11 reorganization cases for both debtors and lenders. Clients include more than 100 Fortune 500 companies, many major foreign companies and large financial institutions.
