Family Business

Our clients aspire to ensure that their entrepreneurial success endures across generations.

In addition, we assist our entrepreneurial clients in extraordinary transactions, both in the context of strategic acquisitions and in the delicate phase of the exit from the family business, providing assistance in all phases of transaction structuring, due diligence and contract negotiation (such as letters of intent, share purchase and sale agreements, option agreements, shareholders’ agreements, management agreements, etc.).

Another area of assistance in favour of our entrepreneurial clients is the support of family members in the process of sharing values and intra-family rules suitable to guarantee the preservation and development of the family business over time (the so-called Family Constitution).

In our experience, the Family Constitution is a useful preparatory tool with respect to the negotiation, drafting and stipulation of documents with binding effect typically adopted when defining the generational passage of the family business (such as, by way of example, the drafting of a family pact, the establishment of holding companies, the revision of the statutes of family companies, the execution of corporate re-organization procedure, the adoption of shareholders’ agreements, the drafting of deeds of gift and wills, and the establishment of trusts).

Our proximity to business clients allows us, thanks to our experience, to support companies assisted by us on day-to-day issues in connection with business development projects as well as M&A transactions.
