Baker McKenzie advised S&P Global Inc. (NYSE: SPGI), one of the world's leading providers of data, analytics, benchmarks, and market intelligence, on the separation of its Mobility business into Mobility Global Inc., a newly independent public company (NYSE: MBGL). The transaction is among the most significant recent cross-border corporate carve-outs in the global information services sector.
