Latham & Watkins Advises Quanta Services on US$2 Billion Senior Notes Offering

7th Aug 2026
Latham & Watkins LLP has advised Quanta Services, Inc. on its US$2 billion senior notes offering, which closed on 6 August 2026 after the infrastructure solutions company priced three tranches of debt. The offering comprised US$500 million of 4.850% senior notes due 2029, priced at 99.950% of face value; US$750 million of 5.300% senior notes due 2033, priced at 99.757%; and US$750 million of 5.550% senior notes due 2036, priced at 99.696%. Quanta said it intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying outstanding borrowings under its commercial paper programme and senior credit facility. The transaction was registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Quanta’s existing Form S-3 shelf registration statement. BofA Securities, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC and Truist Securities, Inc. acted as representatives of the underwriters, placing the financing within the mainstream US public debt capital markets framework. Latham’s corporate team was led by Houston partners Ryan Lynch, Ryan Maierson and Clayton Heery, supported by associates Ziyad Barghouthy, Victoria Wade and Andy Sorensen. Houston partners Tim Fenn and Jared Grimley advised on tax matters, while Josh Marnitz and Brandon Kerns advised on environmental issues. Julie Crisp and Joe Benedetto handled benefits and employment matters, with Andrew Abokhair advising on intellectual property. A US$2 billion debt financing of this kind draws on several legal disciplines, from securities and tax to employment, environmental and intellectual property matters. Even where an issuer relies on an existing shelf registration statement, the disclosure and supporting documentation must still reflect the terms of the new offering and the company’s broader financing position. Quanta entered into the underwriting agreement on 3 August, with the offering scheduled to close three days later. That timetable illustrates the demands placed on external counsel, in-house legal teams and advisers when a major financing moves quickly from documentation to completion. For law firms, familiarity with the issuer and clear allocation of responsibilities can be particularly valuable where several specialist workstreams have to be completed within a short execution window. Quanta has used the senior notes market repeatedly in recent years, making continuity of legal and institutional knowledge particularly relevant. Frequent issuers are likely to place increasing value on law firms that can combine strong capital markets capability with efficient disclosure processes and continuity of issuer knowledge across repeat debt mandates.
