Skål! A cluster of Hunton & Williams lawyers from Atlanta and Miami bagged an assignment to advise a maker of Danish pastries on its purchase of a Florida bakery.
The buyer, and Hunton’s client, was the North American unit of Lantmännen Unibake, which is headquartered in Horsens, Denmark. Lantmännen acquired Euro-Bake of St. Petersburg, Fla. for undisclosed terms. All of Lantmännen’s products, including those sold in the U.S., are currently baked in Europe. With the Euro-Bake acquisition, Lantmännen will operate its first bakery on U.S. soil.
Lantmännen makes Schulstad-brand Danish pastries and Pastridor-brand croissants, while Euro-Bake is known for its European-style sandwich breads, baguettes and pretzels.
Working on the deal from Atlanta was partner Catherine D. Little and associates David R. Yates, Molly Haining Scott, Jeremy S. Lemmon and Joshua Z. Mishoe. Yates and partner Fernando C. Alonso in Miami led the Hunton team. Foley & Lardner advised Euro-Bake.
