Porter Hedges advised Genesis Park, through its investment fund, GP Capital Partners, LP, on its recent investment in The Healthy Lunch Box and Twelve Oaks Catering (collectively, “HLB”). HLB operates two commercial kitchens providing high quality, nutritious meals to students in K-12 charter schools in the Texas market.
