The firm’s multidisciplinary team, consisting of Senior Partner Tim Gladdle, Associate Arron Halait and Solicitor Krupa Sodha (Corporate), Managing Associate Rachel Mills (Employment), and Associate Solicitor Amy Moore (Commercial Property) advised on every aspect of the acquisition.

Commenting on the deal, Senior Partner Tim Gladdle said:

‘We are delighted to have supported Ditsch UK on this important acquisition. Ditsch and the wider Valora Group are major global players in the bakery and “foodvenience” markets, and it has been a privilege for our team to work alongside them.
