2 mins reading time
Macpherson Kelley has advised Founders Neil and Christine Kinder, on the sale of Kinder Australia Pty Ltd (“Kinder”) to Attalis Capital and the Victorian Business Growth Fund (managed by Roc Partners).
Macpherson Kelley has been the trusted legal advisor to both the Kinder business and Neil and Christine Kinder since 2013 and the firm is pleased to support this exciting new chapter for the group.
Throughout the sale of their interest in Kinder, Principal Lawyer James McLaughlin and his team provided trusted commercial advice to their clients, working with the lead corporate advisors, Anthony Dobbyn and Chris Grelis from MGI Dobbyn Carafa, to achieve a successful outcome for Neil and Christine. The work undertaken included advising on the sale process and bidder selection, advising on an internal restructure that preceded the main transaction, and assisting with negotiations with both Attalis Capital and the minority shareholder in Kinder.
Speaking on the acquisition, Principal Lawyer James McLaughlin highlighted the importance of partnering with a law firm that understands the long-term goals of a business and how honest, good thinking can get the job done.
“We pride ourselves on our deep and meaningful relationships with clients. Nothing can replace the kind of trust that’s built over years of engagement,” said James McLaughlin.
“In this case, Neil and Christine, longstanding Macpherson Kelley clients, were referred internally to our team due to the depth of our experience in M&A transactions. It was great to provide that continuity of care, resulting in a successful ownership transition,” said James.
Kinder Australia is a leading global independent supplier and manufacturer of innovative, in-house designed material handling solutions. Kinder Australia states that the sale positions the company for long-term growth and innovation.
Speaking on the sale of their business and the advice received, Neil and Christine Kinder say they are grateful for the support and encouragement from Macpherson Kelley’s legal team throughout the process.
“It’s been wonderful to partner with a law firm where client relationships go beyond the transactional,” said Christine Kinder.
“Having worked with various lawyers at Macpherson Kelley over a long period, we felt confident they would provide the kind of clear, actionable advice we needed,” said Christine.
