  • As the entry into force draws near, we look into the new non-possessory pledge in Italian law

    In 2016 Italy introduced new forms of security, including a pledge on movable goods which would not require physical delivery to the creditor, but would take effect by way of registration in a central repository held by the tax authority (the "Registry of Non-possessory Pledges", or "RNP"). We have covered this step here. The operation of the register was laid out in secondary legislation , which has come into force in August 2021 and mandated the tax authority to put in place the IT system until April 2022, and develop the required technical specifications in the following thirty days. This new form of security holds large promises for the commodities trade, and other industries which have struggled to take collateral in Italy in the traditional forms of a pledge or special lien. It has such flexibility and potential reach that it may play a role in most types of corporate lending, and impact the process and due diligence for credit analysis and M&A activity going forward.

  • Establishing A Business Entity In Italy (Updated)

    1. Types of Business Entities - 1.1 Premises - The Italian law provides multiple forms of organizational structures in order to do business in Italy, which differ from one another due to the extent of the liability undertaken by their participants. In particular, certain business organizational forms allow the participants to limit their personal liability (such as the “società per azioni” – a type of company similar to the Joint Stock Company – or the “società a responsabilità limitata” – similar to the Limited Liability Company), as opposed to others which do not limit the liability of the participants (among which the “società semplice” and the “società in nome collettivo,” operating similarly to a partnership) or which provide for limitations to the personal liability only for certain classes of stakeholders (i.e. the “società in accomandita semplice” and “società in accomandita per azioni”). Most foreign investors generally enter the Italian market through the organizational structures that provide a limited liability for the participants. Discussed below are the two most common types of corporate entities that provides such limited liability, i.e. the “Società per Azioni” (“S.p.A.”) and the “Società a responsabilità limitata” (“S.r.l.”), including a simplified type of the S.r.l., the “Società a responsabilità limitata semplificata” (“S.r.l.s.”). In each of these types of corporations, in fact, the maximum extension of the shareholders’ personal liability is limited to the amount of their equity interest.
