Latham & Watkins Advises L Catterton on Partnership with Maria Nila

Latham & Watkins has advised L Catterton, a leading global consumer-focused investment firm, on its partnership with Maria Nila, the Swedish sustainable professional hair care brand.

With an impressive growth in recent years, Maria Nila’s 100 % vegan, climate compensated and award-winning hair care products have expanded to all corners of Europe and U.S in just five years. By partnering with L Catterton, Maria Nila aims to accelerate this growth even further by expanding the brand, product portfolio and sales channels on a global level. The European fund of L Catterton has acquired a significant minority stake in the Company and Marcus Wikström, the son of Maria Nila’s founders, will continue to lead the Company and remain as CEO.

The Latham team was led by London corporate partners Tom Evans and Linzi Thomas, with associates Jon Fox and Zaal Cama.
