We build close relationships with domestic and international clients, offering support that aligns with their strategic and operational goals.

Our services include corporate and commercial advisory, negotiation and execution of contracts and transactions, and the structuring of companies, branches, and business groups. We assist in joint ventures, shareholder agreements, and investor arrangements, as well as corporate reorganisations, including mergers, demergers, and transformations, often in collaboration with our Dispute Resolution team.

We have extensive experience in M&A and private equity transactions, working closely with our Banking & Capital Markets and Competition & EU Law teams when needed. Our due diligence capabilities are a key strength, covering all types of corporate and contractual documentation across jurisdictions.

While most of our clients are companies, we also advise joint ventures, consortia, branches, and other corporate entities. Our cross-border expertise and deep understanding of EU procedures make us a trusted partner in complex international transactions.
