01/09/2025.- 4|5|3 Law Firm advised Decántalo on the acquisition of BODEBOCA and thus, we are proud to say that we keep on helping our clients grow through M&A cross border transactions. Back in 2022 we advised Le Petit Ballon on the acquisition of Decantalo Vinos, SL (we took care of the tax, legal and labour due diligence and SPA advisory). Now, more than three years later, we have been engaged again by our long-standing client and assisted Decantalo on the acquisition of BODEBOCA. Once more, we have been responsible for the tax, legal and labour due diligence as well as for the SPA advisory and closing.
Through this transaction, Decantalo acquired 100% of BODEBOCA from its former owner, the French group Pernod Ricard (PR acquired BODEBOCA in July 2019), creating the largest online wine retail group in the country and one of the leading players in Europe. The acquisition will allow Decantalo to reach a joint revenue of 35 million euros.
Managing partner Toni Fitó and corporate and M&A associate Marta Cacho led the team. On the Seller’s side, Cuatrecasas advised Pernod Ricard.
Congrats Gilles Raison, Ugo Psaltopoulos, Oriol Ripoll and Hector Pla for this new success and thanks once more for your trust and confidence.
Alliuris network
The deal also highlights the exceptional cross-border cooperation between Alliuris members; in this case between our Barcelona and Madrid offices (on the one hand) and Lyon office (on the other). Many thanks to our Lyon partner, le Cabinet Juridique Saône-Rhône Avocats, its managing partner Jean François Chronowski and Ludovic Giroud (Avocat Associé) for their support and for developing this relationship with 4|5|3 Law Firm.
