McGuireWoods advised Charlotte, North Carolina-based private equity firm Falfurrias Capital Partners and its portfolio company, Sauer Brands, in Sauer Brands\u2019 acquisition by Advent International, a global private equity investor. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partner Chris Nesbit<\/a> led the McGuireWoods deal team, which included partner Matthew L.C. Cox<\/a> and associates Jake Mihalkanin<\/a>, Abigail Maner<\/a>, Jessica Blau<\/a>, Maxwell Willinger<\/a> and Nicole Dalrymple<\/a>. Partner Gerald V.

McGuireWoods has served as legal adviser to Falfurrias since its 2006 founding. Falfurrias has since grown to become one of North Carolina\u2019s largest private equity buyout firms. McGuireWoods represented Falfurrias in its 2019 acquisition of Sauer Brands, whose products include the iconic Duke\u2019s Mayo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe value our longstanding relationship with Falfurrias and were pleased to assist our client in this strategic transaction,\u201d Nesbit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGuireWoods consistently ranks among the leading law firms<\/a> for U.S. M&A deals. The firm\u2019s M&A and private equity capabilities have earned nationwide recognition from Chambers USA<\/a> and The Legal 500<\/a>.
