With over 25 years’ experience specialising in M&A and private equity, I assist entrepreneurs and investment funds in negotiating disposals, acquisitions, LBOs, venture capital and growth capital, particularly in the middle market segment. Thanks to my training in law, taxation and financial engineering, and my close collaboration with departments such as Tax Law and Litigation, I guarantee a comprehensive vision and approach to my clients’ challenges.

My main areas of expertise:

• Mergers and acquisitions: strategic support for companies in divestitures, acquisitions, mergers and fundraising.
• Private equity: advice on private equity, fundraising and LBOs, including structuring and managing shareholdings.
• Transaction structuring: optimisation of ownership structures, complex transaction structuring, due diligence and transactional audits.
