Dorsey is shortlisted for the IFLR Americas 2025 M&A Deal of the Year Award for its role in Manara Minerals’ acquisition of a stake in Vale Base Metals. This award celebrates “the most legally innovative cross-border deals closed in the region during 2024 and the teams and individuals behind them.”
Dorsey Partners Marc Kushner and Stewart Worthy led a 20+ member team representing Manara Minerals, a joint venture formed by Saudi Arabian Mining Co (Ma’aden) and the country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) in acquiring 10% of Vale’s base metal unit. Total consideration in the transaction was $2.5 billion. The deal was supported by a cross-office team including attorneys from Dorsey’s New York, London, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Minneapolis offices.
