The international law firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP has advised Philipp Lahm, the professional football player, on his acquisition of Sixtus Werke Schliersee GmbH (Sixtus), a care product manufacturer. Kroha Holding GmbH transferred its shares in Sixtus completely to Philipp Lahm Holding GmbH. Philipp Lahm thus holds 100 percent of the shares in Sixtus, and since spring 2015, he has already been considered as equal, owning 50 percent of Sixtus.
Sixtus produces preparations from alpine herbs. They should activate, protect or regenerate the skin during sports. The history of Sixtus products dates back to 1931.
Rolf Füger advised Philipp Lahm Holding GmbH on corporate and tax law in relation to the acquisition.
