Experience
Counseled Client in its Acquisition of a $1.9 Billion Publicly Traded Financial Holding Company.
Peoples Bancorp Inc. has engaged us for a variety of significant projects involving M&A and regulatory matters over the last 12 months. We partnered with Peoples on its most significant acquisition to date with our team, the purchase of Premier Financial, a $1.9 billion dollar public company with financial operations in seven states. This was a complex deal requiring a deep and broad team to handle a three-step merger, shareholder approvals, various regulatory approvals, and multi-state filings. The team was heavily involved in negotiating proper allocations of risk, transaction documents, and leading diligence, working hard in a compressed timeframe to get to signing. Other projects completed with Peoples included advising on a variety of corporate governance matters and regulatory matters.

Castellini turns to Dinsmore to navigate many of its financing transactions
Every business needs access to proper financing channels to grow and prosper. Understanding available financing options that make new investments, improvements and expansions possible is vitally important, as is the ability to anticipate potential problems and formulate strategies that minimize risk.
Dinsmore attorneys are proud to have played an integral role in the growth of Castellini through helping to structure, monitor and negotiate many of their financing transactions. We work as a trusted partner of not only Castellini, but also with many of their related companies, including Interstate Truckway, Merchants Cold Storage and CCW Realty, enabling our team to provide a holistic approach to financing matters. We counsel in many of the financial transactions for Castellini’s operations and our team has a thorough understanding of each facet of Castellini, providing us with valuable knowledge about the short and long-term implications of every financing transaction.
Product safety and quality are two Castellini hallmarks. The financing transactions our team helps to negotiate and execute, from commercial real estate loans and lines of credit to capital equipment loans, aid in Castellini’s acquisition of new capabilities, facilities, upgraded equipment and most importantly, the flexibility to respond to unforeseen opportunities.
Our understanding of the Castellini culture has also enabled us to bring a higher level of consistency to the financing process. On behalf of Castellini, we work with a number of regional and national banks on transactions. We endeavor to standardize the document language and process as much as possible, resulting in efficiencies and greater predictability for Castellini.
As Castellini has grown, so too has the relationship with Dinsmore. By bringing consistency and efficiency to their financing processes and procedures, we’re able to be a stronger advocate for their success.
