Capital Markets

The dynamics of the modern economy requires in-depth knowledge of the markets and their mechanisms. Changes in the organization of companies and the evolution of digitalization on an unprecedented scale are driving a series of related technologies that have significantly altered existing paradigms.

The challenges increase when the legal framework of credit and financial institutions evolves at a different time of reality, and the task of finding solutions that reconcile cultural differences, diverging business climates, and legal frameworks is often complex. The ability to negotiate and establish partnerships are critical factors for the success of many operations.

Whatever your opportunities or challenges may be, our team is specially designed to understand your business needs and provide crucial advice in each transaction.

We can help you shape your strategy, manage risks and make the most of opportunities in these areas:

  • IPOs
  • Commercial paper programmes
  • Debt issuance programmes (EMTNs)
  • Standalone bonds
  • Securitisation
  • Investment funds
  • Structured products
  • Regulatory issues

We have an in-depth knowledge of how corporate M&A law applies in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
