During this free seminar, jointly held by ESA BIC Turin and RP Legal & Tax, regulatory aspects in investment transactions of interest for start-ups will be addressed and explained in detail. In particular, the speakers will analyse the so-called “golden power” regime – and more in general restrictions to foreign direct investments in the European Union – which allows the Government to block or impose specific conditions to transactions that fall within certain strategic sectors of national interest.

The experts leading the seminar will also present the new European regulation on Foreign Subsidies and antitrust law, with particular reference to the new regime of the so-called “below threshold” transactions.

The event will be presented in English language by Leo Italiano, Senior Consultant at I3P and Program Manager of ESA BIC Turin, and led by Marco Gardino, Partner at RP Legal & Tax, and Amedeo della Croce, Senior Associate at RP Legal & Tax.
