Regulatory and Antitrust

We assist investment firms, asset management companies and banks in connection with all requirements relating to the provision of financial and banking services in Italy and abroad.

We are specialised in setting up investment funds (fund formation), with particular reference to alternative funds (credit, private equity, venture capital and real estate), supporting our clients in the structuring and start-up phases and in the negotiations with investors.
Thanks to our direct experience in the field, accrued also through presence in the boards of directors and boards of statutory auditors of leading financial and banking institutions, we integrate our technical expertise, the continuous updating and attention to anticipating possible developments in the sector with a careful analysis of the impact on the profiles of organisation, governance and internal audit system.

We are constantly involved in the analysis and structuring of fintech projects and in intermediary compliance issues related to the integration of sustainability factors (ESG).

We advise companies in all areas of antitrust law.

Our main areas of expertise include:

fund formation, especially in the alternative sector;
authorisation procedures at the Bank of Italy and Consob, also in relation to extraordinary transactions;
distribution of investment funds and provision of financial and banking services both in national and cross-border contexts;
anti-money laundering and market abuse;
Antitrust filing and compliance.
