Commenting on the deal, Ian Warner said:
"The formation of Capital Constellation is a great success and exemplifies RPMI Railpen's innovative approach to investments. The ability of the Pinsent Masons team to deliver expert legal and commercial advice on this complex transaction is testament to the quality of our growing investment funds practice."
