Corporate and commercial
SLP has extensive experience in representing Italian and overseas clients on the formation and structuring of business activities in Italy and abroad, such as negotiating trans-national joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions. With the support of our associate law firms in the United Kingdom and in UAE, our team of lawyers offers our commercial clients a comprehensive international service. Our particular strength is that we are able to advise our clients on cross-border matters where legal issues may be raised in more than one jurisdiction, considering how best to protect our client’s interests such as ensuring that any agreements negotiated on their behalf are also enforceable in the jurisdiction where the client needs to operate.
SLP supports investment initiatives abroad by offering professional consultancy and legal support for all the planning and consolidation stages of the internationalization process of Italian companies.
SLP's practice in Italy includes the formation of Italian subsidiaries of foreign corporations as well as supporting new Italian businesses, ensuring compliance with Italian corporate law and other regulations, as well as providing continued support in the maintenance and running of the new companies.
We assist our business clients with the negotiation and drafting, both in English and Italian, of commercial agreements and contracts, such as stock purchase agreements, asset acquisitions and dispositions, shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements, technology transfers franchise agreements, distribution agreements, sales representative agreements and commercial sales contracts.
We also provide comprehensive advice in all areas concerning the running of the company including employment law, commercial property (construction, purchase, sale and leasing), environmental and regulatory compliance, intellectual property matters (copyright, patents, know-how and trademarks protection), and tax.
