Legance is an independent Italian Firm with a strong position among full-service legal firms, and leader in the Italian and European market.

Our law Firm was founded in 2007, by a team of well-established professionals united by common ideas and objectives: quality, expertise, understanding and anticipation of the clients' needs, flexibility and nurturing of young talents.

Legance has offices in Milan, Rome and to confirm its international vocation, in London as well. The Firm has established an extensive international network, with numerous independent legal firms in different jurisdictions, therefore assuring superior legal assistance but without having to give up its corporate identity and values.
Our reputation of offering the highest level of international competence, scope and insight is guaranteed through our close collaboration with leading foreign law firms rigorously selected for each practice area.

Through a so-called 'Country Partners' system over the years we have built a solid and proven network of non-exclusive relationships that enable us to assist clients on international transactions with responsiveness and flexibility. We select the most appropriate partners in each jurisdiction through a competitive procedure based on specific criteria defined with our clients.

During the years, the Firm has attracted both young talents and affirmed professionals who share the same principles and mission. Legance is indeed a law Firm, but it also means sharing a fulfilling working experience where clients are important and where all employees, regardless of their role, feel part of the same squad.

Corporate Finance
With around 100 highly-specialised lawyers, the Corporate Finance Department is at the forefront of the industry, assisting corporate clients in the most complex and high-profile national and international transactions completed in recent years.

With exceptional multidisciplinary knowledge the team covers the full range of corporate finance services, providing in-depth advice on M&A (both to listed and unlisted companies) and private equity transactions.

Working closely with multiple practice areas of the Firm, the team supports clients through every stage of a project, from identifying the most effective corporate and tax structures and carrying out due diligence to drafting and negotiating contractual documents and assisting in fulfilling antitrust and other requirements related to regulated sectors, such as banking and insurance.
