Consumer goods and retail

The sector in question is a mainstay of the Italian economy. However, a market which is becoming increasingly global and open on the one hand and a falloff in domestic consumption on the other hand, have compelled companies operating in Italy to face up to competition challenges which are becoming increasingly intense. These companies are now having to implement highly effective internationalisation programmes to penetrate new markets.

ABLEGAL provides consultancy services to companies operating in the consumer goods and retail sectors, during negotiations and contract drafting stages, whether domestic or international, such as by way of example, sales, agency, sales concession, joint venture, share purchase or corporate shareholding and corporate acquisition agreements.

In addition, the law firm assists these companies in the event of litigation, both in Italy and abroad.

 

Industry

Though Italy does not have a wealth of raw materials and energy sources, it nevertheless ranks amongst the world's most industrialised nations.

Against a global background of intensive use of knowledge capital in the production with increased interdependency between markets, both local and global, Italy's industrial sector must renew itself and tackle new challenges.

Against this background, ABLEGAL assists small and medium-sized enterprises operating, for example, in the food, textile and footwear, mechanical and electronic sectors, wherever our clients carry on their business activities, providing consultancy in corporate affairs, M&A or private equity, negotiating and drafting commercial agreements, joint ventures and assisting with litigation.

 

Real Estate

ABLEGAL has acquired considerable experience and skills which it can bring to bear to assist clients in the various real estate areas.

Specifically, the firm assists Italian and foreign clients – for example, institutional investors, construction companies, real estate investment funds – in operations regarding the acquisition and management of real estate property, be it commercial, residential, or in the hospitality sector.

ABLEGAL regularly assists construction companies operating both in Italy and abroad, providing consultancy to draft tender contracts, establish joint ventures and in litigation.

With regard to construction companies operating or intending to operate abroad, ABLEGAL is able to provide complete legal assistance, thanks to its cooperation agreements with foreign law firms.
