In January 2024, Pedersoli Studio Legale and Gattai, Minoli, Partners merged to become PedersoliGattai, which draws on the bench strength of its team, in a range of CMD transactions, including high-yield bonds and private placements (both in Italy and other European markets). The key figures within the practice are DCM specialist Gaetano Carrello, and Emanuela Campari Bernacchi and Valentina Lattanzi, who specialise in structured finance. Mattia Valdinoci's workload covers cross-border securitisation transactions, along with bond issuances.
