Acquisition of a Swiss cosmetic brand sold in retail and luxury hotel spa

Our member advised a leading Chinese group on the strategic acquisition of a premium Swiss cosmetics brand distributed through both high-end retail channels (Harrods, Gallerie Lafayette, Printemps) and luxury hotel spas worldwide.

We conducted comprehensive cross-border due diligence spanning Swiss and Monaco legal frameworks, while optimizing the deal structure through a Luxembourg-based SPV.

The transaction involved meticulous negotiation of key contracts including brand licensing and supply chain agreements, coupled with rigorous compliance verification against EU cosmetics regulations.

Our integrated approach ensured the successful execution of this sophisticated cross-border acquisition.
