Corporate - M&A
Chiomenti is recognized for its deep experience in the field of extraordinary transactions and corporate law, gained through its work for leading Italian and international industrial banking, insurance and financial groups, and the principal Italian national institutions, in the most important transactions in Italy’s economic history in the period from World War II to date.
In the area of corporate transactions, Chiomenti has played a constant part in the mergers and acquisitions arena since the 1950s. Initially, the Firm had a central role in the creation and growth of the key Italian industrial groups, and in the entrance of the main multinational groups into the Italian market. Later, it played a major role in the internationalization of the principal national industrial operators, and, from the first half of the 1990s, in the privatization of the main Italian state‑owned enterprises and in the extraordinary transactions in which they have subsequently been involved.
In order to best address the complexity of extraordinary transactions and their different phases, corporate law assistance is provided with the full support of the Firm’s other Practice Areas. This allows for the analysis and management of all relevant aspects and implications, such as public law, those deriving from financing needs and/or the financing structure of the transaction, labour law, taxation and antitrust and regulatory issues.
Chiomenti ensures the continuance of its standards of excellence in two ways: it has always invested in the development of its professionals, who are able to acquire an experience which is unrivalled in the Italian context and thereby become the best in the market, and, in addition, it has always concentrated on developing and understanding the most technical and innovative aspects of transactions, also thanks to the contribution from many of its lawyers who, in addition to their professional activities with the Firm, continue their academic and research activities.
