Clifford Chance has advised ING Bank on its issuance of three-year bonds in Japan. The sale, which raised 175.9 billion yen ($2.1 billion), marks one of the largest fundraisings by a European issuer in Japan.
The debt instruments include a series of fixed-rate bonds, as well as floating-rate bonds due 2015.
The Clifford Chance team, which acted as Japanese and Dutch legal advisers to ING, was led by Tokyo partners Reiko Sakimura and Eiichi Kanda, and partner Frank Graaf in Amsterdam.
