A long-time client of the firm, Duxton is based in South Australia and has established itself as a leading boutique asset manager with a focus that includes Agriculture, Equities and Hospitality.
The Piper Alderman deal team, led by partners Simon Venus and Jonathan Dodd, worked closely with the Duxton Pubs on the buy-side legal aspects of the transaction including due diligence, contract negotiation and completion.
Commenting on the deal, Simon Venus said:
“We were delighted to have been able to work with such a collaborative team and to have played a part in closing this transaction.”
The deal sees the founders’ continuing involvement in the business and will bring natural synergies for expansion for Little Bang Brewing and its beer lines.
