M&A

We focus on the creation of football companies (SAFs) and their acquisition or sale. We advise clubs, investors and sellers from the definition of the structure through negotiations, SAF formation and closing to post-investment governance.

Each project starts with an understanding of the club, the investor’s thesis and the long-term objectives. We structure the conversion or formation of the SAF, allocation of assets and liabilities, capitalization and relations among the association, company and shareholders.

In acquisitions and sales, we lead legal due diligence, map risks and negotiate price, conditions precedent, warranties, indemnities, governance and exit mechanisms. Our advice extends through closing and implementation across corporate, contractual, regulatory and sporting issues.
