Stefano Bianchi > Pavia e Ansaldo > Milan, Italy > Lawyer Profile

Clients for the manufacturing industry turn to Pavia e Ansaldo for corporate, private equity, IP, tax and dispute resolution advice and representation. M&A transactions are also a key pillar of the practice, and the team recently acted on the sale of the Italian manufacturer Surfaces Group to a US private equity firm, work led by Giuseppe Besozzi. Stefano Bianchi is the managing partner.

Pavia e Ansaldo‘s private equity team has been kept busy supporting on buy-outs and build strategies in some of Italy’s most active sectors, namely luxury goods, industrial, agriculture and food. Stefano Bianchi leads the department which includes Giuseppe Besozzi, who is especially well-versed in deals with an international contract or corporate restructuring element, as well as Meritxell Roca Ortega, a go-to for transactions which intersect the domestic and Spanish markets.

Pavia e Ansaldo has a presence in Barcelona and Tokyo and recently opened a new office in Turin, complementing its established offerings in Rome and Milan. The practice, which has grown significantly over recent years, also recently expanded through the partner-level arrival of Carlo Emanuele Rossi from Carnelutti, a move which bolsters the group’s capacity for energy-related M&A. Managing partner Stefano Bianchi  and Roberto Zanchi  jointly head the team which has won a number of instructions in the industries worst affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic, including hospitality and transport.
