Business services

In the corporate field, our notarial practice regularly handles a broad range of transactions, including the incorporation of limited liability companies (S.r.l.) and joint-stock companies (S.p.a.), the drafting of minutes of extraordinary shareholders’ meetings, amendments to articles of association, capital increases and reductions, mergers, demergers, and corporate transformations, as well as company dissolutions and liquidations, and transfers of quotas and shares.
In particular, our firm also provides assistance in the online incorporation of S.r.l. companies, including IT and digital process support. Where one of the shareholders is resident in the Veneto region or where foreign shareholders are involved, an S.r.l. may be incorporated directly from a personal computer through the use of a qualified digital signature.

Management of corporate transactions

We advise clients on complex, high-value corporate transactions, with a strong focus on M&A and private equity. Our experience includes the structuring and execution of extraordinary transactions, the drafting of tailored articles of incorporation with multiple classes of shares and bespoke shareholder rights, and the management of special shareholders’ meetings. We regularly assist on domestic and cross-border mergers and demergers, leveraged buyout transactions and merger LBOs, as well as on sophisticated equity and debt instruments, including convertible notes, bonds, and stock option and incentive plans. We also act in transactions involving innovative start-ups and high-growth SMEs.
Alongside transactional work, we provide ongoing corporate support to portfolio companies and corporate groups, advising on governance, powers of attorney, proxy appointments, statutory filings, and the preparation of financial statements. Our practice also covers corporate transactions and agreements involving consortia, business networks, joint ventures (including temporary joint ventures – ATI), European Economic Interest Groupings (EEIG), and strategic collaboration arrangements.
