Hogan Lovells acted for Tanarra Credit Partners as lead counsel on two financing transactions that have closed this week.

The first transaction provided funding to Australian private equity firm Next Capital for the acquisition of iseek Communications, a Brisbane-based data centre business.

The second transaction provided funding to a portfolio company of another Australian private equity firm, CHAMP Ventures' Ansett Aviation Training.

Lead Hogan Lovells Partner Richard Hayes said "We were delighted to be able to assist our new debt fund client, Tanarra Credit Partners, with the structuring, negotiation, documentation and completion of these significant transactions. These deals highlight the success of Tanarra's business model and platform and reflect the ongoing trend of disintermediation in the leveraged finance market here in Australia and overseas."

Banking Partner Richard Hayes led the team together with Corporate Partner Matt Johnson, Counsel Chris Robertson, Associates Eric Van Winssen and Alistair Handy and Trainee Solicitor Amelia Schubach.
