M&A & Private Equity

With regard to M&A and private equity transactions, we assist the main market players: both Italian and foreign financial institutions, investment funds, commercial, industrial or financially oriented companies and corporate groups. As a result, Giovanardi Studio Legale has consolidated expertise in structuring and implementing extraordinary corporate transactions, specifically focusing on the ensuing corporate reorganisation and governance.

The Firm assists Italian and foreign companies and groups in corporate mergers and acquisitions; venture capital and private equity funds in investment and divestment transactions in Italy; entrepreneurs in the transfer of their companies and/or shareholdings, as well as in the establishment of joint ventures. It is therefore able to offer advice and assistance even in the most complex transactions pertaining to mergers, demergers, acquisitions and divestments of shareholdings and companies or business units, leverage and management buy-outs, including during restructuring processes, the establishment of joint ventures and temporary associations of enterprises, contributions, transformations, liquidations and capital transactions, including through structured finance.

The Firm’s consolidated multi-disciplinary approach and expertise enables it to analyse the issues and implications arising from the financial structure of the transaction, managerial changes and intergenerational transitions, thus being able to address and resolve the critical and regulatory issues that are typical of distressed and special situations.
