Borsa Italiana hosts presentation of new M&A and Private Equity contract guide

The book ‘La Finanza nei contratti di acquisizione’ (Finance in Acquisition Contracts) was presented at the Borsa Italiana headquarters in Milan. Published by Key Editore, the volume is co-authored by Luca Ponti, Lucrezia Platé, and Federico Ponti.

Designed as a practical guide rather than a theoretical manual, the text focuses on the drafting of contractual clauses used in M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital operations. It aims to provide legal professionals, consultants, and financial operators with tools to translate complex financial dynamics, valuations, and exit strategies into precise and defensible legal language.

The authors highlight the evolution of financial contracting over the last thirty years, noting a shift from a purely legal approach to a hybrid model that integrates law and economics. The book addresses the need for professionals to navigate modern economic changes and the risks associated with shifting values and complex financial structures.
