An Alpharetta company that makes equipment for flat-proofing tires picked Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz partner David Cooper to be legal counsel on its merger.
Cooper’s client, Urethane Holdings LLC, agreed to combine with Pathway Polymers Inc., of Chattanooga, Tenn. Cooper’s legal team of Atlanta attorneys included Baker Donelson associate Valerie Woodrick on corporate matters, partner Rick Walker on intellectual property matters, and associate Michael Evans on tax. Sutherland intellectual-property partner Dan Warren and associate Debbie Butler, both in Atlanta, prepared Urethane’s patent portfolio for the merger. Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson advised The Vita Group, the British parent company of Pathway Polymers.
Urethane makes Recycler-brand tire fill machines that “deliver tire fill to tires and wheel assemblies for both lightweight and heavyweight products,” according to a press release. Urethane sells its products directly to original equipment manufacturers, Cooper said.
Cooper snared Urethane as a client through a reference from an accounting firm that was performing work for Urethane and with whom Baker Donelson had worked previously.
