Corporate and Commercial Law, Mergers and Acquisitions

Managing corporate activities and commercial relationships requires legal assistance that is attentive to the company’s operational needs and business development objectives.

The Firm’s lawyers provide legal advice and assistance to Italian institutional, financial and industrial entities in managing both their day-to-day and structural legal matters, including, inter alia, corporate transactions and, in particular, mergers, demergers and acquisitions carried out in Italy and abroad.

The Firm assists its Clients with a broad range of matters relating to their business activities, including:

• corporate acquisitions and transfers of equity interests generally;

• Golden Power notifications and related proceedings;

• transfers of businesses and business units;
• incorporation of companies abroad and establishment of joint ventures with international partners;
• strategic alliances and industrial and commercial cooperation arrangements;
• corporate restructurings and reorganisations;
• succession-related instruments and transactions with corporate implications;
• shareholders’ agreements and other agreements among shareholders.

The Firm’s advice in these areas extends to the structuring of transactions, including related financial support arrangements and acquisition financing, due diligence activities, and the preparation, review and negotiation of contractual documentation, from the earliest stages of discussions with the relevant counterparties.

The Firm also assists Clients, among other things, in determining the legal structure of the transaction, assessing corporate and regulatory matters, managing relations with corporate bodies and the other advisers involved, and preparing the agreements required to implement the transaction.

The Firm’s work is tailored to each Client’s specific needs and is consistently directed towards achieving efficiency, sustainability and business functionality. The delicate interplay between business considerations and legal requirements is managed by the Firm’s professionals with competence and care, while maintaining a clear focus on the importance of both perspectives.

The Firm adopts an approach focused on understanding each Client’s needs and developing concrete legal solutions that support the management and growth of the Client’s business. Its objective is to provide integrated assistance throughout every stage of the transaction and to translate the Client’s economic and strategic objectives into clear, efficient legal structures consistent with the relevant operating environment.
