Working with long-time client DSM, Hinckley Allen’s Corporate practice successfully negotiated the acquisition of First Choice Ingredients. The process to acquire First Choice Ingredients, a leading formulator and manufacturer of dairy based flavorings in the US, was highly competitive.

Understanding the business objectives and the time sensitive nature of the deal, Hinckley Allen worked to carefully help craft a winning offer. By working collaboratively with both the DSM and First Choice teams, Hinckley Allen’s attorneys quickly handled definitive agreements, due diligence, HSR filing and representation and warranty insurance matters.

This acquisition was an ideal first entry move into the taste segment for DSM’s food and beverage business.
