Our experience also involves due diligence on companies of all sizes, public offerings (including via equity crowdfunding), fundraising via Delaware – USA, acqui-hiring structures, earnout transactions or share swap structures, and club deals equity and negotiation.

This practice area represents our clients’ ambition to grow. To deliver secure and highly satisfactory transactions, we work with a team of experienced lawyers with a high sense of agility, strategy and tactics, capable of negotiating, diligence and executing customized structures for each type of transaction.

Advising the sell side and, mainly, founders and controllers of companies and startups, we have built up significant experience in transactions where closing the transaction was necessary for the continuity of the business.

By balancing extremely personalized service and a very active deal flow, we can get involved with the client’s business. Thus we can accurately assess the scenarios, peculiarities of the operation, and possible risks throughout the M&A or investment process.

Lawyers from other areas of the firm may also be called upon to form an even more complete team, ensuring a holistic approach and always available assistance during transactions.
