RDJ advised the shareholders of Silver Pail, one of Ireland's leading ice‑cream manufacturers, on its proposed acquisition by Grupo Alacant, a leading European producer specialising in private‑label retailer brands.

Based in Fermoy and employing over 100 people, Silver Pail will represent a significant addition to Grupo Alacant's growing portfolio. Backed by Investindustrial, the Spanish group is expanding rapidly across Europe, and this acquisition will support its international growth strategy in the UK and Irish markets. The transaction is subject to regulatory clearance.

The RDJ cross-practice team was led by Diarmaid Gavin and included Alan Cronin, Shane O'Connell, Conor Beck (Corporate and Commercial), John Dwyer (Real Estate), Brendan Cunningham, Monique Foley (Banking and Finance), Jennifer Cashman (Employment), and Mark Ludlow (Tax).
