Armstrong Teasdale supported Manna Pro Products in its $135 million acquisition of Oxbow Animal Health, a 30-year-old wholesaler of small-animal wellness brands including premium whole foods, supplements, treats and supplies for rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas and more.

Armstrong Teasdale led diligence on the intellectual property and information technology aspects of the acquisition, led by Partners Courtney Jackson and Saraann Parker, and Associate Gabriela Baeza-Stout.
