Private Equity and Buy-Outs

Our professionals have gained a great deal of experience in advising domestic and international investors (private equity houses, holding companies, etc.) on structuring and completing leveraged and management buy-outs, as well as on secondary buy-outs.

Through the experience gained and the synergies across the different departments, the Firm has the expertise in order to assist clients acting in such sector during the entire buy-out process: from the acquisition to the financing, the merger of the NewCo (or any other alternative structures), the management of any post-closing activity, the relationships with minority and majority shareholders, the grow-up of the target through add-on processes, up to the exit of the investors through sale or listing. The Firm has a specific expertise on private equity secondaries and, in particular, on the sale and purchase, on behalf of financial institutions or domestic management teams, of portfolio of companies held by private equity funds, stakes in private equity funds (venture capital, buy-out and mezzanine), stakes in vehicles controlling private equity funds and management companies (SGR and limited partnerships).

Finally, Gitti and Partners advises domestic and international clients on the setting-up of private equity funds, also through multi-jurisdictional structures in whole or in part, on the regulatory process before the competent authorities and on the implementation of the relevant legal and tax structures.
