Ughi e Nunziante has assisted the European group Akka – which provides engineering and technology consulting services and counts 11,000 employees in three continents – in the acquisition of the company Epsco S.r.l., a well-established Italian business operating in the same sector, which recorded revenues of €18 million in 2014.

Partner Cristina Baglioni dealt with the labor aspects of the transaction, while corporate and contractual matters were handled by partners Roberto Leccese and Giuseppe Coco, with the support of senior associate Camilla Savarese.

Ughi e Nunziante cooperated with Akka’s legal department, headed by Jean-Philippe Laligand.

The acquisition, which is part of the Group’s growth strategy, has served to further strengthen its position in the Italian market, where Akka has now been active for nearly twenty years.
