McCann FitzGerald advises Lakeland Dairies on merger with LacPatrick

We are advising Lakeland Dairies on its proposed merger with LacPatrick.  The merger is subject to Lakeland and LacPatrick shareholder approval, together with regulatory approvals and, if implemented, would create the second largest dairy processor on the island of Ireland with a milk pool of 1.8bn litres and annual revenues in excess of €1bn.
