Overview

Based out of our offices in Milan and Rome, our international investments and transactions team is experienced in corporate, commercial, and tax law, advising Italian clients as well as international entities doing business in Italy and the EU.

Our team assists clients by suggesting and implementing the most cost-efficient and effective way for structuring their European, and especially Italian, presence. We guide our clients through the process of acquiring business targets, such as through buyouts, M&A, private equity, and special purpose acquisition companies. For businesses looking to establish their own presence in Italy and Europe, we have extensive experience with new company formation and intercompany agreements and help clients reorganize their existing operations in the region, including through financial restructuring. Once our clients are established in the country, we provide them with tailored, day-to-day assistance with compliance, data protection and cybersecurity, and anti-corruption advice.

Our team regularly deals with cross-border matters. We advise Italian clients looking to internationalize and expand their operations outside of Italy. Our experience includes assisting clients’ positioning as targets for venture capital or private equity funds and entering into partnership agreements or joint ventures with multinational corporations.

With regards to Italian tax law, we have deep experience advising on domestic and international tax planning in connection with corporate restructuring, reorganization, and M&A transactions. We also have a longstanding and proven track record advising tax-exempt organizations, especially those dedicated to philanthropy as well as safeguarding, maintaining, and promoting Italy’s vast cultural heritage.
