Leading global law firm, Baker McKenzie, has advised S&P Global, the world's foremost provider of credit ratings, benchmarks and analytics in the global capital and commodity market, as international counsel on its agreement to sell its Global Engineering Solutions Business to investment funds managed by KKR, a leading global investment firm and a longstanding customer of S&P Global, for $975 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

Its products enable engineers, builders, and architects in many industries to access the data and insights they need to deliver complex projects and new products.

Employment and Benefits aspects of the Baker McKenzie team were co-led by Employment Partners Monica Kurnatowska and Joseph Deng with Benefits Associate Janel Brynda.
