Maisto e Associati is regarded by many as one of the leading Italian tax law firms. It has 12 partners and 60 employees spread among two offices in Italy and one in London. The team is led by founding partner Guglielmo Maisto. It focuses on all elements of tax and transfer pricing, including litigation, restructuring, M&A and private customers.

During the research period, the firm advised the Unilever Group on the sale of the Findus frozen food business to CSI (part of Nomad Foods Group). The team also aided EuroGroup Laminations with the examination of the Italian tax implications of its initial public offering on Euronext Milan, as well as the coordination of that involving the group's other jurisdictions.

Client feedback

“Practical approach to issues faced by the business. Most practical and commercial tax advisors we use. Extremely helpful. Manage timelines and updates superbly well. Really engaging and helpful team.”

“Excellent experience, competence and effectiveness.”

“Our lawyers in the Maisto team were extremely quick to grasp the technical issues at the heart of our business and help us put together the facts and numbers for our case to make a simple and compelling narrative. They kept the case moving during the many months of COVID and other delays, using the same team, which saved us having to re-explain concepts or refresh analysis.”
