New York, NY – Paul Hastings LLP, a leading global law firm, represented Alpek, S.A.B. de C.V., the largest petrochemical company in Mexico and one of the largest in the world, in connection with an international issuance of debt securities. The offering involved the issuance of $300 million of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2023 pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S. The underwriters involved were HSBC and J.P. Morgan.

Alpek is one of the few Latin American corporate issuers able to access the international bond markets during the recent market volatility.

Paul Hastings attorneys also represented Alpek in its IPO in early 2012 and its inaugural international bond offering in November 2012.

Latin America practice partners Mike Fitzgerald, Joy Gallup and Arturo Carrillo led the Paul Hastings team, which also included of counsel Steven Sandretto and associates Arnaldo Rego and Bruno Espindola.
