About

Provided by Hogan Lovells

Corporate transactions are at the heart of our practice and we have gained an excellent reputation for top quality transactional work, including due diligence. However, our practice also includes first class lawyers covering specialisms such as energy regulatory, competition, outsourcing, employment law and tax. This unusual combination of lawyers within one team enables us to provide a truly joined-up service.

Our Italian corporate M&A practice comprises about 30 professionals, who advise corporate clients, financial institutions and funds on a broad range of transactions, both on and off market. We also support our clients on their significant commercial contracts and agreements, particularly in the retail and e-commerce fields, and on transformational business arrangements such as joint ventures and strategic alliances.

Our Corporate M&A lawyers regularly structure, negotiate, and implement transactions of all forms and sizes, and undertake due diligence on all these deals. We advise public and private companies, private equity firms and funds, investment banks, financial institutions, boards of directors, special committees, supervisory boards, significant investors and other clients on complex transactions, both at domestic and cross-border levels.
