Corporate &Commercial Law

We provide comprehensive legal support for the formation, operation and growth of start-ups, covering practical matters such as selecting the appropriate corporate form, founders' agreements, vesting arrangements and employee stock option plans (ESOPs). We handle key corporate and contractual matters, including collaboration and service agreements, software development agreements, terms of use/privacy policies, and the protection of intellectual and industrial property.

We support start-ups through investment rounds (Seed, Series A/B), negotiation of terms with investors, due diligence, and full legal and regulatory compliance (including, indicatively, GDPR, the tax framework, and supervisory requirements where applicable). Alongside this, we provide targeted advice on financing, growth strategy and business risk management, so that start-ups can operate securely and flexibly, ready to seize opportunities for growth.

We have significant experience representing businesses before supervisory and regulatory authorities, handling audits, submitting notifications and licence applications, and liaising directly with the competent bodies on compliance and supervisory matters. In doing so, we ensure that businesses operate securely, transparently, and in full alignment with the applicable regulatory framework.

We also provide specialised advice on corporate governance, covering not only Board of Directors and General Meeting procedures, but also the design and operation of internal policies, committees, internal control systems and decision-making mechanisms. We help businesses build structures that strengthen accountability, transparency and effective risk management, enabling strategic, well-informed decision-making.

In the field of corporate transactions, we support domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, representing both buyers and sellers at every stage of the process. We conduct targeted due diligence, design the optimal transaction structure, and provide strategic guidance through negotiations. We draft and negotiate share purchase agreements (SPAs), shareholders' agreements (SHAs) and all related legal documentation, ensuring clear terms and protection of our clients' interests.

We also provide substantive support on corporate restructurings, business unit disposals and changes to corporate structure, and we resolve or pre-empt disputes between shareholders or partners through targeted legal guidance, safeguarding stability and business continuity.

We draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts across a range of sectors, including trade, technology and logistics services. We have specialised experience in technology contracts, SaaS agreements, software development/licensing agreements, and contracts concerning intellectual and industrial property rights, including patents and know-how.

We support the negotiation of key business agreements, ensuring that each contract is aligned with the company's strategy, operating model and interests. Through a targeted, preventive legal approach, we reduce business risk and strengthen the stability and predictability of your business relationships.

Our firm provides full representation in corporate and commercial disputes before the courts, offering strategic handling of matters involving shareholder/partner relations, contract performance or invalidity, disputes arising from commercial cooperation, and infringements of intellectual or industrial property.

We also offer targeted advice on out-of-court settlement, assessing in each case the solution that best serves the client's business interests and limits exposure to legal and financial risk. Our approach combines strategic thinking, technical precision and practical experience, aimed at ensuring stability and operational continuity for your business.
