Our lawyers have a broad experience in advising banks, bank holdings, investment firms and other financial intermediaries in connection with any authorisation and reporting requirements set forth under Italian law. We also assist our clients in assessing any problematic issue or concern arising from the performance of their activity. In this respect, the Firm provides assistance, inter alia, in opening branches and subsidiaries, filing reports, data and any other relevant information with the Bank of Italy and Consob (the Italian securities market regulator) and in structuring and revising contracts for banking, investment and non-core services.

We advise on all aspects concerning the incorporation and activity of undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS), handling the placement and marketing in Italy of units of foreign and domestic SICAVs and of collective investment funds, drafting the relevant prospectuses and carrying out any required activity vis-à-vis the Bank of Italy and Consob. Besides advising on the relevant corporate and securities regulatory issues, Monaco e Associati also assists its clients on securities transactions, such as the placing of shares, bonds, notes and other capital market instruments.
