Alinta Gas restructure

Allens Arthur Robinson and Mallesons Stephen Jaques co-hosted a seminar on 5 May 2011 in relation to the Alinta Energy group's $2.9 billion deleveraging transaction.

The deleveraging was effected by way of schemes of arrangement in March 2011. This was one of the most complex restructures in Australian corporate history.

• Ross Rolfe AO - formerly CEO, Alinta Energy
• Sylvia Wiggins - former commercial adviser to Alinta Energy
• Tim Bednall - Partner & Chairman of the Board, Mallesons Stephen Jaques (panel chair)

• Ian Wallace- Partner, Allens Arthur Robinson
• John Williamson-Noble - Partner, Gilbert + Tobin
