Pawville sought a strategic partner to accelerate growth and expand its footprint across the Southeast. The goal was to find an investor aligned with its vision for scaling operations while maintaining its high standards of care.

Michael Best represented Pawville in a successful transaction that resulted in its acquisition by Access Holdings, a private equity firm. The deal positioned Pawville as part of WagWay Group, Access Holdings’ portfolio company focuses on pet services. This move enables WagWay Group to expand aggressively in the Southeast market.

The transaction was complex, spanning several months and requiring seamless collaboration across multiple practice areas and offices. Michael Best worked diligently to structure the deal, navigate regulatory requirements, and ensure Pawville’s vision was realized.
