IT M&A

We assist investors and companies in extraordinary transactions involving technology companies, where value lies in intangible assets, data, and regulatory compliance.

Technology, IP, and data due diligence is often at the heart of the transaction: a software ownership issue, poorly managed open-source licence, or privacy non-compliance can have a greater impact than the purchase price itself.

We operate through a multidisciplinary team — legal, technology, and regulatory — because, in a tech target, the risks that matter do not emerge from financial statements alone.

What we do

  • Due diligence — technology, IP, data, and cybersecurity.
  • Transaction structuring — SPAs, shareholders’ agreements, representations and warranties, W&I.
  • Regulatory approvals — fintech, crypto, telecommunications.
  • Data and licence transfers — continuity of ownership and GDPR compliance.
  • Intangible assets and key personnel — software ownership, open source, retention.
  • Post-closing integration — alignment of compliance and systems.
  • Corporate law — Italian Civil Code. Business transfers, share transfers, and extraordinary corporate transactions.
  • Sector-specific regulatory frameworks. Depending on the target: MiCAR, PSD2/PSD3, NIS2, telecommunications regulations.
  • Data protection — GDPR. Due diligence on data processing activities and continuity of data controller status in the transfer of a business or shareholding.
  • Intellectual property. Software ownership, open-source management, trademarks, and patents as key components of value.
  • Golden Power — Decree-Law 21/2012. Special powers of the Italian State over strategic assets and transactions, including technology and telecommunications.

How we work

In a tech transaction, the price is defended in the due diligence process. We identify risks relating to data, IP, and compliance upfront, where the true value — or the real problem — usually lies.
