Framework agreement for Magnum Ice Cream Company

Framework agreement for Magnum Ice Cream Company

We have entered into a 2 years framework legal agreement for advising Magnum Ice Cream Company (Hungary) in relation to the Croatian market.

The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. (TMICC) is a Dutch multinational ice cream company headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Incorporating several major ice cream brands and having about 21% of global market share, TMICC is the world’s largest ice cream manufacturer.

On 8 December 2025, TMICC became a publicly traded company using the symbol MICC on Euronext Amsterdam, London Stock Exchange, and New York Stock Exchange, having an initial market value of $9.1 billion

Magnum ICC became an independent subsidiary of Unilever on 1 July 2025 by a demerger. Following the announcement on 19 March 2024 to create a separate stand-alone business, the several major ice cream brands owned by Unilever, such as Magnum, Ben & Jerry’s, Cornetto, Breyers, Calippo, and Wall’s, were combined into The Magnum Ice Cream Company as a stand-alone company, with headquarters in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Unilever deemed the demerger of ice cream division necessary as ice cream has distinct characteristics compared with Unilever’s other operating businesses, including frozen supply chain and point of sale that support frozen goods, a different channel landscape, more seasonality, and greater capital intensity and allows Unilever to more closely align with its core businesses in four categories; personal care, home care, beauty & wellbeing and foods.

Our advisory should cover various contentious (dispute resolution and litigation) and non-contentious matters including but not limited to commercial matters, marketing, competition, corporate matters, employment & HR,  data protection, consumer protections, product ( food) labeling matters etc.
