Corporate Transactions, Private Equity and Club Deal

BridgeLaw professionals can leverage on a specific and qualified experience in assisting national and multinationals entities, private equity funds and family businesses in extraordinary transactions, gained in more than twenty years of practice in leading international law firms.

Our consolidated experience and capabilities in all areas of practice which are relevant to extraordinary transactions (contractual, corporate, tax, financial, labour, commercial, litigation, administrative, antitrust), and our deep knowledge of sector-specific legislation (energy, environmental, communication, media, maritime and ports) translates in our ability to rapidly and effectively manage all critical legal aspects in specific industries and meet the deadlines set by the client or dictated by the transaction.

BridgeLaw can rely on a very high-profile network of foreign correspondents and can assist its clients also in cross-border operations, leveraging on the experience and involvement of its founding partners in a multitude of cross-border transactions in the last three decades.

We assist our clients in all types of extraordinary transactions, including mergers, de-mergers, acquisition of participations (also through LBO, MBO, competitive bidding procedures and Club Deals), sale and lease of businesses, equity and contractual joint ventures, restructurings and reorganisations.

The advice provided by our M&A specialists encompasses all phases of extraordinary transactions: legal and tax set-up, term sheet / MOU / NBO, due diligence, drafting and negotiation of investment agreements, shareholders’ agreements, by-laws, soft and hard commitments, pre-closing, closing and post-closing activities, as well as merger control filings and other communications and notices to national and/or foreign regulatory authorities.

BridgeLaw also assists its clients in the drafting, review and amendment of corporate documents pertaining to ordinary and extraordinary matters (by-laws, corporate resolutions, managements’ reports, compliance and organizational models pursuant to law 231/2001, corporate secretary and bookkeeping).
