Full Job Description
Who we are Within our approachable, friendly, and team-based way of working, you will collaborate with the Team that advises major domestic and international companies on public and private M&A, disposals, demergers, joint ventures, restructurings, corporate governance, regulatory compliance and Antitrust advisory with a particular focus on complex cross-border transactions.

We have invested in our Italian offices and we are now one of the few firms who can offer clients a full-service capability. Our team of approximately 100 lawyers comprises professionals qualified to practice in Italy, the UK, and the US and all our lawyers are permanently based in Italy. Our firm, work and people span jurisdictions, cultures and languages. In a world where commercial success increasingly relies on globalisation, we offer clients a truly international perspective.

More recently, we have worked on a number of innovative deals involving Autostrade per l'Italia, Telepass and Arcaplanet.

We not only cover the traditional areas of Employment law that many firms focus on, but also more specialist areas that are increasingly relevant in the current financial climate, such as remuneration reform, regulatory investigations and corporate governance. Clients, ranging from global businesses to small enterprises, have come to trust and rely on the experience of our dedi
