Alessia Allegretti

Alessia acts as a trusted advisor to prominent corporations and entrepreneurs with international interests, combining a strategic legal mindset with deep cross-border experience. Her professional background uniquely blends corporate and transactional knowledge with private client advisory work, making her a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and families navigating both business growth, cross-border investments, and personal wealth stewardship.

She has built her career in international law firms, advising on all aspects of corporate life — from corporate governance, board-level advice, and cross-border M&A to complex group structuring and multijurisdictional compliance. Alessia is particularly adept at handling cross-border investments and transnational, interindustry, and multistakeholder negotiations, often in highly complex and sensitive contexts.

Building on this foundation, she has developed a strong focus in asset protection, wealth planning, and family governance, particularly in situations where ownership structures and operating businesses intersect. Certified as a Ffamily Oofficer since 2019, she regularly advises high-net-worth individuals and family offices on succession planning, intergenerational transfers, and transactions involving strategic or luxury assets.

Her integrated practice enables her to deliver holistic and pragmatic solutions at the intersection of business, governance, and personal affairs, supporting clients both as corporate leaders and as private individuals with cross-border footprints.

Alessia’s experience includes advising entrepreneurs, investors and international groups on complex matters involving corporate transactions, ownership dynamics, high-value assets and cross-border coordination, such as:

• Advising the controlling shareholder of an Italian operating company on the sale of his stake to a leading private equity fund, acting as lead counsel on the transaction, and coordinating with financial advisors
• Advising a French entrepreneur in relation to the relocation to Italy in the context of a broader ownership and asset-holding structure, coordinating multidisciplinary advisors, and assisting with the acquisition of high-value real estate
• Advising an international family office on a complex dispute relating to a superyacht, involving criminal and tax aspects, and working alongside specialist colleagues
• Advising an international entrepreneur on contractual and strategic matters connected to the use of Italian maritime infrastructure, including the negotiation of concession arrangements with port authorities
• Advising the shareholders of an operating business on the review and implementation of corporate governance arrangements, including allocation of decision-making powers, shareholders' special rights, and internal governance mechanisms
• Advising a multi-generational entrepreneurial family on an intergenerational dispute affecting ownership and control of an operating group, with a focus on governance, succession dynamics, and long-term stability of the business
