About

Matteo Casot is an Italian qualified business lawyer with 15 years of experience accrued via a strong background gained both in private practice at major international law firms, and as an in-house legal counsel at major global companies and financial institutions. He is currently acting simultaneously as head of legal affairs at Tages Capital and senior legal counsel at Credito Fondiario, both companies being part of Tages Group. Tages Group is an infrastructure investment manager, currently the third largest operator in the Italian photovoltaic market by production capacity in Italy. Casot is responsible for legal affairs relating to the acquisition of photovoltaic projects, project financing and refinancing, setting up investment funds, financial regulations, corporate law, commercial contracts and the management of portfolio companies, joint venture, purchase power agreements and other matters. Additionally, at Credito Fondario, an investment bank specialising in the acquisition, intermediation, management and servicing of distressed and illiquid credits, Casot is involved in securitisations of receivables arising out of performing and non-performing loans, leasings, restructurings, and other legal matters. In particular, Casot led on the bank’s recent securitisations of MPS and Good Banks. Casot identifies that, ‘working for 10 years at top tier international law firms gave [me] the technical background to act as in house legal counsel in investment banking. [Specifically] having the possibility to work on a wide spectrum of businesses (investment banking, real estate, energy, M&A, private equity) during private practice gave me the opportunity to develop a high level of flexibility in terms of legal judgement’. In addition to his busy and multilateral legal support to both companies, Casot has also been developing a standard scheme of contractual documentation to be used in the context of investment opportunities pursued by the bank, accelerating and simplifying the internal process for drafting and review of such documents.
