M&A and Corporate - Italy

Our M&A and corporate practice represents a broad spectrum of business interests in Italy, from listed companies to small and medium-sized enterprises and venture backed start-ups, as well as representing the financial institutions that support them.

We represent Italian and foreign clients in both friendly and hostile public tender offers, negotiated share and asset acquisitions, joint ventures, legal mergers and spin-offs. We have extensive experience in complex cross-border transactions and draw on a global network of corporate, finance, tax and antitrust professionals.

We advise entrepreneurs and emerging companies on venture capital financings, joint ventures, and leveraged buyouts and recapitalisations.  We also represent a number of leading private equity firms on early and later stage investments, buy-outs and recapitalisations.  Our lawyers work with numerous emerging companies in industries ranging from software, IT and business services to telecommunications, life sciences and media. 

We advise all participants in the restructuring and insolvency of troubled companies, including the troubled companies themselves, acquirers, investors and lenders.

We advise on all matters of general corporate and commercial law, the setting-up of companies, branch offices and representative offices, corporate financing and group financing (including infra-group cash management systems), commercial contracts including distribution, licensing, agency and related competition matters.
