AFS Advises Marquee Brands in Majority Stake Acquisition of Roberto Cavalli

ArentFox Schiff served as IP counsel to premier brand management company, Marquee Brands, in a definitive agreement to acquire a majority interest in Italian luxury fashion company, Roberto Cavalli, through a strategic partnership with the Dubai-based conglomerate, DAMAC Group.

This agreement marks Marquee’s ongoing foray into luxury and the 22nd brand into a portfolio that includes BCBG, Laura Ashley, and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. As DAMAC will continue to scale the Cavalli brand presence across global key markets, the deal will allow Marquee Brands to debut new categories, services, and touchpoints throughout the world. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026.

The AFS team included Anthony V. Lupo, R. Erica Roque, Matthew Mills, and Felicia Xu.
