Corporate

We focus on mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and, in general, on extraordinary transactions, also in distressed contexts, with reference to both private and public companies.

We advise on corporate governance, corporate and commercial law.

Our clients include family owned companies, corporations, private equity firms and financial institutions.

We enjoy being close to our clients in challenging times, when they have to make important decisions for their future and to put our experience and knowledge at their service.

Our target is to build with our clients longstanding relationships, founded on mutual trust and confidence.

Litigation

We assist corporations and private clients in complex civil and commercial litigations and arbitrations.

Our approach to litigation is practical and results oriented. We help our clients in understanding the risks and opportunities of the litigation. We carefully define the litigation strategy together with our clients, identifying the most appropriate solutions to succeed in, or to avoid, a litigation in the full awareness of its timing and cost.

We mainly focus on corporate and commercial disputes - particularly in the context of extraordinary and M&A transactions - restructuring and insolvency, directors’ liability, unfair competition, intellectual propriety and successions.

  • extraordinary transactions (including acquisitions, mergers, demergers, contributions in kind, transfers of businesses and going concerns, joint ventures, restructurings, start-up, issuing of financial instruments, IPO, venture capital investments, extraordinary finance and project financing);
  • the structuring of compensation packages for directors, executives and key people (including stock option plans, incentive and benefit plans and pension funds);
  • the setting of transfer pricing policies;
  • the handling of direct and indirect taxes and accounting matters;
