Capital markets: Equity

BonelliErede

With ‘a strong track record in the ECM space', BonelliErede has an enviable reputation for its advice to listed and regulated companies on privatisations and listings. Heading up the department, Vittoria Giustiniani is consistently mandated by companies to access capital markets through IPOs and capital increases. Other key figures include Silvia Romanelli, a highly-regarded expert in takeover bids and share issuances, and Gianfranco Veneziano, who brings ’in-depth knowledge of capital markets‘. Managing associate Francesca Peruzzi is another name to note. Former partners Federica Munno and Carlo Montagna departed the firm during 2023.
