Focus on the client

Our M&A lawyers are happy to support you at each stage of the transaction, starting from the first considerations to the possible structuring of a potential transaction (e.g. succession issues) to the successful implementation of an acquisition or a sale. In case of need, of course, we also support you in the successful management of conflicts that may arise prior or subsequent to M&A transactions, e.g. the assertion of or defense against claims based on violations of guarantees under the corporate acquisition contract.
