Kraft Foods Acquisition

Summary:
Schiff Hardin represented Kraft Foods in its acquisition of General Mills' breadcrumb manufacturing facility and business located in Federalsburg, Maryland.
Schiff Hardin's team, working closely with the client's internal legal and business teams, handled all negotiations with General Mills' internal and external counsel, including the purchase of the plant, real property and related assets, the transition of approximately 85 union and salary employees, and post-closing transition services.
Our team drew on talent from the firm's Real Estate, Intellectual Property, and Corporate and Securities Groups. This transaction represents a continuation of Schiff Hardin's M&A work for Kraft Foods.
