\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>LeggiTeam work groups intervene at all stages of this sort of operations, from the legal and tax conception of the transaction to the implementation of post-operation mechanisms facilitating integration, conducting due diligences, leading the negotiation process, drafting the contractual instruments and supervising the participation of external entities. LeggiTeam experience encompasses share deal and asset deal transactions, as well as operations on distressed assets, LBO’s and MBO’s, both local and transnational, particularly in the Industrial sectors, Media, Publishing, Real Estate, Defence Industries, Healthcare, Trade and Distribution, Innovation and Technologies and Family Offices.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/i><\/u>The growing complexity and scope of business activities require closer attention to organizational structures and models of relationships between shareholders, senior management, customers, suppliers, employees, investors and regulatory authorities. In this context, LeggiTeam supports the design and development of internal governance models and procedures, particularly within multinational groups, participates in the negotiation and formalization of shareholders’ agreements, and advises company\u2019s board of directors and strategic counsels (corporate advisory).<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>Economic cycles are getting shorter and the markets are rapidly evolving, so economic agents must be prepared to react in due time and change their structures according to their strategic objectives. Our teams operate in this area based on consistent diagnostics, whether in downsizing and recovery operations or in growth, diversification or geographic location contexts. We support and implement solutions for spin-offs, transformation, merger, reorganization and restructuring of debt, insolvency and recovery, capital inflows, sale and monetization of assets, operations with distressed assets, organization and reorganization of groups or re-domiciliation.<\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/u>The funding structure is a key element in the success of any project. At LeggiTeam we help our clients to design and implement the most appropriate formulas, either through the issuance of debt instruments (bonds, commercial paper), capital or hybrid products or by using more complex solutions involving investment funds, venture capital, structured financing or project finance operations and their respective guarantees.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>Contracts are present in all areas of business activity. Careful and appropriate drafting is essential to ensure stable and lasting relations with all stakeholders and to avoid the effects of non-compliance and consequent litigation. Our teams work in all stages of the process, from the procurement and offers preparation, to negotiation, drafting, monitoring of compliance, control of renewals and pre-agreed termination, renegotiation and review of conditions and enforcing of appropriate measures in the event of non-compliance. Our services cover all types of commercial and financial agreements, whether for the supply or purchase of goods or services, partnerships (distribution, representation, agency, franchising), logistics (transport, storage, insurance), financing or guarantees. We also advise our clients on specific areas such as public procurement or international trade.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>This area of practice is dedicated to specific operations such as joint ventures, internationalization, research and development, start-ups, spin-offs, complex transactions, PPP’s, project finance, real estate investment and promotion, foreign investment, concessions and licenses for exploitation of infrastructures or natural resources. Our methodology is based on the creation of specific working groups for each operation, where our professionals combine competences and follow the best practices of project management. Often these projects assume the nature of turnkey operations, involve investment partners from different sectors advised by their own teams of consultants or require the participation of professionals from other areas and jurisdictions; these circumstances reinforce the advantages of our project approach.<\/p>\nTax<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>The tax environment of business activity has become increasingly demanding and rigorous. At the same time, and often with excessive experimentalism, tax authorities all over the world try to create solutions to track the emerging challenges of new business models, where agents with new profiles follow market principles that escape the logic of state sovereignty. These circumstances converge on the need for constant monitoring of the tax impacts on companies\u2019 day-to-day business and solutions adopted by their production, financing, management and control structures. LeggiTeam’s intervention covers all these matters, advising on tax issues both related with client and supplier relations, compensation packages, assets, financing structures, cash surplus, dividend distribution or intra-group relationships (namely transfer pricing).<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>Globalization has created tremendous opportunities. However, the possibility of acting in multiple markets also confronts economic agents with new and different regulatory frameworks, which increase their risks and impose new requirements. LeggiTeam responds to these challenges by advising on international transactions and commercial, financial or investment operations, bearing in mind the different national legal regimes, international tax treaties and other similar instruments.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>The ability to plan is essential for the decision-making process and for the success and monitoring of any business or operation. In a context of high volatility, planning allows to anticipate possible shift on assumptions and create scenarios and alternative instruments to minimize the negative impacts of change. LeggiTeam offers customized tax planning services, considering the peculiarities of each case, both in purely business projects as well as in the organization of personal assets and family holdings, namely in the following sectors: Real Estate and Construction, Tourism, Mining and Manufacturing Industries, Innovation and Technologies and Financial Services.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\tLabour<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>LeggiTeam provides services at all stages of employer-employee relations life cycle: drawing proposals, negotiating conditions, formalizing contractual instruments and monitoring their execution, designing models and organizational structures, supporting special negotiation processes related with labour mobility, reviewing or termination of labour relations.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/u>LeggiTeam professionals have built up extensive experience in collective bargaining, such as company agreements or sectorial conventions, especially in labour-intensive industries with high performance requirements,\u00a0such as the energy sector, naval or wood, to name a few.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>Deploying workers, particularly to locations outside their home countries, is becoming more frequent and requires the preparation of comprehensive solutions that contribute to the success of the expatriation. LeggiTeam designs expatriation and repatriation programs, covering both professional and personal issues: specific training in language, culture and customs, integration support in the country of destination (residence, transfer of personal property, domestic services, travel, school placement for children) and support on reintegration upon return. In M&A operations, LeggiTeam also collaborates in post-transaction integration and reorganization procedures.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>Leggiteam professionals have extensive experience in the design and negotiation of tailor-made remuneration models, particularly for top management positions, combining pecuniary retributions and incentive plans based on professional assessment systems, profit sharing, social, family and other fringe benefits and retirement plans.

\n<\/i><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/u>LeggiTeam supports corporate clients to conceive and implement comprehensive risk prevention plans (money laundering, corruption and other similar offenses, loss of core assets, conflicts of interest, labour and environmental safety, cybersecurity), codes of ethics, crisis management plans, quality management manuals, and other procedure plans required for specific sectors (food, health, defence, waste and hazardous materials). Our professionals also participate in internal and external audits conducting due diligence procedures and following inspection actions of the competent entities in tax, environmental, labour and other matters.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>The access to certain markets and the exercise of certain activities depend on specific requirements and conditions usually controlled by public bodies with regulatory, inspection and sanction powers. In these contexts, compliance requirements are much stronger, and the effects of default may lead to extreme consequences. LeggiTeam assists and supports its clients in this wide range of regulated activities, namely in Industrial, Environmental or Urbanistic Licensing, Financial products and services, Insurance, Advertising and Consumption.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>The defence of free competition is the cornerstone of the market economy, with impact at the national and supranational level. LeggiTeam’s intervention in these matters covers merger control, trade restrictive practices, unfair competition, cartel practices and the modern private enforcement instruments of antitrust rules.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/u>The protection of privacy has acquired an extraordinary importance in recent years and so will remain until it becomes possible to achieve a fair balance between the individual rights, the economic agents\u2019 interests and the provision of effective public services, especially in safety and health sectors. The regulatory framework is still under construction also because of the geometric progression rates currently observed in the evolution of technological tools. In the meantime, the world is facing new realities and major challenges: cybersecurity, legitimacy of access and use of personal data, electronic communications protection, cloud computing security, defence of rights relating to personality, use of social networks content, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and new types of criminality.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\tIntellectual Property<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>Companies continue to consider the brand as the best legal guardian of their image and commercial reputation rights, despite its strong connection to the offline reality.\u00a0 However, the growing use of trademarks and the globalization of the markets increased the likelihood of branding confusion which is an important cause of unfair competition. These problems are enhanced by the appearing of a new generation of rights specific to the online market (domains, nicknames, usernames), having similar functions but different rules. Similar problems arise in the patents sector due to the increasing in R&D activities and the emergence of subsidiary models and processes of root innovations, which patentability is not absolutely clear.<\/p>\n
