M&A

Sale and Acquisition Contracts

One of the key aspects of any M&A transaction is the drafting of transfer contracts. Che si tratti di un’acquisizione di partecipazioni sociali, di quote aziendali o di un ramo d’azienda, è essenziale che i contratti siano chiari, precisi e conformi alle normative vigenti.
Our firm is engaged in drafting, reviewing and entering into contracts of:

Contribution and Contribution Contracts

The contribution and contribution transactions represent a key aspect in mergers and acquisitions. The conferment is the transfer of assets, businesses, or holdings to a company in exchange for shares or stock in that company. This transaction is often used in corporate restructuring to consolidate assets or resources within a larger corporate structure.
Our firm provides advice and assistance in the drafting of contribution contracts, managing both the legal and tax aspects of the transaction to ensure regulatory compliance and optimization of tax benefits.

Business Branch Rental Agreements

In some M&A transactions, it may be necessary to proceed with thelease of a business unit before final acquisition. This tool allows a business to temporarily operate a business or part of a business without having to acquire ownership immediately.
Lo Massimiliano Ferraro Notary Firm deals with the drafting and conclusion of business branch lease contracts, providing assistance at all stages of the process to ensure that temporary management is governed by legally secure and transparent conditions.

Escrow Service / Deposit Price

The escrow service o escrow price is a procedure increasingly used in M&A transactions to protect all parties involved. In this context, the notary acts as a third party custodian of the sums of money intended for purchase or disposal, ensuring that payment is released only once all conditions of the contract have been met.
