Entrepreneurship is an aptitude that must be developed through work, experiences, and continuous learning. It is a journey defined by ongoing interactions and opportunities for listening and understanding. At LCA, we have met and collaborated with many entrepreneurs. The entrepreneur is perhaps the human and professional type that we know and understand best and with whom we communicate most naturally. We have had the opportunity to engage with diverse entrepreneurs, each possessing unique characteristics but all sharing a distinct attitude and spirit. The key question is how to nurture, educate, and guide that spirit to transform it into the ability to launch, manage, and grow a successful business.

Assisting SMEs has always been one of our core strengths. We are perhaps one of the law firms in our sector most closely aligned with this world. SMEs represent one of our country’s greatest hopes—a true act of courage and drive by entrepreneurs. LCA is committed to supporting these businesses, helping them achieve the necessary stability and shielding them from potential challenges along the way. In this context, greater capitalization and improved management are key to expanding opportunities and enhancing growth prospects. The Borsa Italiana financial markets and the world of private equity funds are playing an increasingly pivotal role in this process.

LCA's objective has always been to work alongside entrepreneurs as trusted legal advisors during the key moments in their businesses' journeys, adopting a collaborative partnership approach. We strive to understand the broader context and align ourselves with the decision-makers. The key moments when we offer the greatest value often relate to significant corporate actions: share disposals, acquisitions, capital increases, and investments. Among these, M&A transactions and Equity Capital Markets operations are particularly noteworthy, especially the processes related to listing a company’s financial instruments on the Borsa Italiana financial markets.

ELITE is the leading platform organized by Borsa Italiana for discussing and gaining insights into topics related to finance and markets, as well as establishing key contacts. The strong success of ELITE in the Italian context is no coincidence; its approach effectively allows companies and their management to build meaningful connections with the financial world. This is achieved through a structured and substantive program that is accessible and non-intrusive.
