Chiomenti also has long-standing experience advising on the purchase of assets or bussiness in turn around transactions or out of insolvency proceedings, as well as on non-performing exposure purchases (including in loan-to-own transactions).

Chiomenti also possesses consolidated experience in extraordinary transactions in the context of restructuring and turn around operations, including demergers or contributions of assets to implement corporate structures (bankruptcy remote or ring‑fenced).
With a view to offering integrated advice in this field, Chiomenti set up a dedicated Practice Area comprising professionals who, using their experience gained across various Practice Areas (finance, dispute resolution, corporate, tax, labour), work together to better look after the client’s needs, leveraging the Firm’s diverse skills.
