International Transaction of the Year || SES acquires Intelsat in a USD $3.1 Billion Deal

We are proud to have advised Intelsat in its acquisition by SES, a global transaction valued at USD $3.1 billion, marking a key milestone in the satellite and telecommunications industry.

Acedo Santamarina, S.C. was part of the team that represented Intelsat before Mexican antitrust authority in telecommunications and broadcasting sector, obtaining an unconditional clearance that enabled the successful closing of this strategic transaction – giving rise to a global operator with a combined fleet of 120 GEO and MEO satellites.

We congratulate SES and Intelsat on completing a transaction that will undoubtedly reshape the global connectivity landscape. It was an honor to support them throughout this process. We also thank all legal advisors involved in this transaction for their collaboration.

Special recognition to the Acedo Santamarina team involved in the transaction: Andrés Acedo Moreno, José Luis Mejía Estrada, Enrique López Méndez and Enrique López Mandujano.

This transaction reaffirms our commitment to delivering high-level legal counsel in complex, cross-border matters, solidifying Acedo Santamarina’s impact in antitrust and telecommunications law.
