Foot Anstey delighted to have supported L Catterton on investment in 'Little Moons' ice cream brand

Foot Anstey is proud to have supported L Catterton Europe, a leading global consumer-focused private equity firm, on the legal due diligence for its acquisition of a significant minority shareholding in Little Moons, a premium dessert company co-founded by sibling team Howard and Vivien Wong. The company, which has enjoyed steep organic growth since its incorporation in 2010, received an undisclosed investment sum.

Little Moons, one of the fastest-growing food brands in the UK, makes artisanal gelato balls wrapped in mochi dough. The transaction will see Howard, Vivien and the existing management team retain their involvement with the company as L Catterton targets wider global expansion for Little Moons.

Foot Anstey's transaction team included Matt Stoate, Beth Donnelly, Colin Shear, Ashley Avery, James Barnett, Lauren Hickey and Tim Williamson.

"We are delighted to have strengthened our existing relationship with L Catterton through supporting them on another successful investment, and look forward to seeing where this funding takes such an exciting company," said Matt.
