Corporate Finance Partner
CurrentMy significant highlight was acting for the executive management team of Weetabix, on the sale by its private equity owner, Lion Capital, of a controlling interest to Chinese based Bright Food. I worked with the management team throughout such process, ensuring their interests were protected at all times and coming up with creative solutions to overcome possible deal obstacles for the team. I continued to represent the management team on Lion Capital's subsequent exit and the new investment by Baring Private Equity, and on the eventual sale of Weetabix by Bright/Baring to the US listed company, Post Holdings.Following completion of a corporate transaction that I worked on, the managing director said "From the start, he was enormously responsive and extremely professional.....there was a combination of good experience, great service, good advice and real delivery. it was a delight. Anthony is also a very nice guy, and a very close working relationship evolved incredibly quickly."
