We operate across the entire value-creation cycle, from origination and the building of the industrial platform through to the alignment of strategy, capital, organisational structure and execution.
The breadth of our thirteen areas of expertise is made possible by a select international network of senior professionals, advisers and specialised partners, activated according to the complexity of each engagement.
Industrial Origination
Identification and structuring of industrial opportunities that are coherent in strategic, operational and value-creation terms: industrial platforms and consolidation trajectories · aggregation logics and buy-and-build strategies · preliminary industrial hypotheses · activation of opportunities aligned with capital, governance and execution.
Industrial Strategy & Value Creation
Definition and implementation of industrial strategies geared to value creation over the medium to long term, in pre-investment and transformation contexts: growth trajectories and competitive positioning · scalable platforms · PE readiness · value-creation levers · alignment of governance, operating model and capital structure. An approach upstream of financial transactions, building organisations able to attract capital.
Strategic Advisory
Support to organisations at high-impact decision points: growth strategies · international expansion · governance design · industrial planning. An advisory practice geared to the quality of decisions, in contexts marked by complexity, leadership responsibility and strategic significance.
Private Capital Advisory
Support to entrepreneurs, organisations and investors in strategic decisions relating to capital and at moments of transformation: assessment of strategic options and alternative scenarios · Private Equity, Private Debt, Venture Capital and M&A processes · alignment of industrial strategy and capital structure. An independent role, geared to the quality of decisions and long-term value.
Venture & Startup Advisory
Structured support to founders and startups across three progressive phases: Strategic Positioning (market, value proposition, pricing) · Round Strategy (round structuring, comparable transactions, target investors) · Fundraising Execution (investor selection, materials, closing). The institutional network — VC funds, family offices, club deals — connects selected companies with the most aligned counterparties.
Legal Advisory (Non-Regulated)
Corporate and commercial legal advice provided exclusively outside any regulated financial perimeter: corporate and commercial contracts · governance arrangements between shareholders · protection of intellectual property · corporate compliance and partnership agreements.
AI & Digital Enablement
Data and artificial intelligence as strategic levers to strengthen analysis, quality of decisions and operational effectiveness: scenario assessment · structuring of the information base · AI-based decision-support systems · optimisation of processes and operating models. Technology is conceived as a tool in service of judgement, not as its replacement.
Cybersecurity & Regulatory Compliance
Strategic and legal assistance in adapting to the NIS2 Directive and the European regulatory framework on cybersecurity: analysis of the scope of application · risk mapping · governance obligations · support to directors in managing liability. The approach combines technical and legal expertise to ensure compliance, operational resilience and protection of directors' liability.
Credit Recovery & NPL Portfolio Management
Strategic advisory on non-performing credit portfolios (NPL/UTP) supporting funds, institutional investors and companies undergoing financial repositioning. The approach combines financial and legal expertise to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the process.
Asset Transitions
Exclusive advisory for the disposal or acquisition of significant real-estate assets. Qualified selection of the counterparty, structuring of the transaction and support throughout negotiation.
M&A & Valuation in Private Healthcare
Strategic advisory on the acquisition and disposal of private healthcare facilities: clinics · outpatient centres · care homes · diagnostic laboratories. In-house healthcare legal expertise ensures continuity between the strategic profile and the management of clinical and regulatory risk.
Digital Infrastructure & Data Centre Siting
Strategic advisory in the assessment and acquisition of land and property for energy-intensive digital infrastructure: data centres · AI hubs · distributed computing infrastructure. A rapidly growing area, at the crossroads of the digital transition, energy policy and infrastructure capital.
Operational Support
Working alongside leadership teams through execution and organisational transformation: optimising operating models · support to executive leadership · interim roles · transformation programmes. Involvement is selective and aimed at the structural strengthening of internal capabilities.
