The M+A team at Kegler Brown served as the exclusive buy-side legal counsel to Palmer-Donavin in its acquisition of Diamond Hill Plywood (DHP), a major wholesale distributor of building and construction-related products. Headquartered in Darlington, South Carolina, DHP employs 110 people and operates five distribution centers in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina, serving customers across eight southeastern states and much of the Eastern seaboard.

The transaction successfully closed on April 7, 2023, and was highlighted as the 2023 "Deal of the Year" in Columbus by the Association for Corporate Growth.
