Companies change: they merge, split, raise capital, transfer shares or reorganise for the next generation. These transactions have significant legal, accounting and tax effects, and require precise documentation and timing.
The studio assists companies and their advisors through extraordinary transactions, from the preliminary analysis to the deed and the registration formalities.

- Shareholder and director identification documents
- Tax and accounting advice already obtained
- Any third-party consents or financing documents
Frequently asked questions
The answers
you need.
Does a merger always require a notarial deed?
Italian law requires a notarial deed for mergers and demergers of companies. The notary verifies the legality of the transaction and handles the registration formalities.
How long does a share transfer take?
The deed itself can be prepared quickly once documents and approvals are ready. Registration and any corporate formalities follow, and timing depends on the complexity of the transaction.
Can a company change its legal form without interrupting its activity?
Yes. A transformation changes the legal form but preserves the entity and its ongoing relationships, subject to the approvals and formalities required by law.
