Firm: Lander & Rogers (Rahr Corporation); Hall & Wilcox (Bintani Australia)
Value: Confidential
Area: M&A
Key players: The Lander & Rogers team was led by partner Jackie Solakovski, with assistance from partner Mark Diserio, senior associate David Cinque, and lawyers Joshua Butler, Amanda Paulin and Jenni Mandel.
Deal significance: Bintani was established in Melbourne as a family-owned business. Since its inception, the company has grown to become a major supporter of the Australian craft beer industry, supplying yeast, hops, and malt to the sector, according to a statement from Lander & Rogers.
