L&B Partners Avvocati Associati announces the expansion of the Private Equity team with the addition of new Partner Andrea Gritti and Counsel Gaia Casciano, enhancing the firm’s ability to assist investment funds in extraordinary finance transactions, with a specific focus on mid-market.

With more than 20 years of experience in assisting private equity funds, Andrea Gritti, formerly a Partner at Gianni & Origoni and most recently at Portolano Cavallo, specializes in assisting in leveraged and management buyouts (including cross-border), buy-and-build platforms and subsequent acquisitions (add-ons), minority investments, as well as divestment transactions, including in a competitive environment, and in structuring reinvestment mechanisms and incentive plans for management.

He is joined on the team by Counsel Gaia Casciano, an expert in M&A and private equity transactions, who worked with the Partner for several years in her previous experience at Gianni & Origoni. Gaia Casciano has gained experience both in Italy and abroad, working with private equity funds and corporate clients, supporting them in extraordinary transactions.

The entry of the new professionals expands the transactional expertise of L&B Partners Avvocati Associati, already strong with proven expertise in the energy & infrastructure and life sciences & healthcare sectors. In addition, L&B Partners’ specialized skills in both traditional and innovative and evolving sectors – such as digital – enable significant synergies in assisting operators interested in the Italian economic fabric, an area mainly characterized by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that holds opportunities of great value for investors.

“We are pleased to welcome Andrea Gritti and Gaia Casciano to our Private Equity team: their entry marks a significant step in the firm’s growth strategy, further strengthening our offering to tackle the most articulated and challenging transactions in the market,” said Michele Di Terlizzi, Managing Partner of L&B Partners Avvocati Associati. “Their skills perfectly complement L&B Partners’ distinctive approach: quality of service, solid client relationships and a strategic response to the most complex challenges.”

“The Private Equity team growth plan in L&B Partners Avvocati Associati was instrumental in my decision to join,” says Andrea Gritti. “I am ready to face the sector’s challenges and opportunities together, confident that L&B Partners’ deal-oriented approach and the synergy between its various departments can make a difference.”

The new entries are part of the broader growth path of L&B Partners Avvocati Associati, which has recently achieved major investments with the expansion of the Administrative Law department and the inauguration of the Tax department, both with high-level professionals, and is planning further developments in strategic areas.

With these hires, L&B Partners Avvocati Associati once again confirms its identity as a legal boutique focused on quality, excellence in specialized skills and building long-term relationships with its clients, thus responding to the needs of an increasingly dynamic and competitive market.
