Milan, 26^th June 2025 – Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) announces the opening of its Corporate Finance office in Italy, led by Maximiliano Turelli. The senior appointment represents the latest expansion of A&M’s Corporate Finance practice this year, building on sustained growth in Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and throughout the regions of the UK.

With over 20 years of experience in corporate finance and more than 50 M&A transactions completed, Mr. Turelli has advised private equity funds, entrepreneurs, and corporates across a wide range of sectors. He previously held senior roles at Banca Akros, Equita Group, and K Finance / Clairfield International.

Mr. Turelli is responsible for establishing and growing A&M’s Corporate Finance and M&A advisory offering in Italy. His focus is on serving financial sponsors, family-owned businesses, and mid-market companies, particularly in the industrial sector.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Turelli said: ‘We see strong and increasing demand for high-quality, independent corporate finance advice in Italy, especially in the mid-market segment. Clients are looking for senior-led execution, sector insight, and international reach – and there is a growing need for a truly global adviser that can seamlessly connect Italian businesses and private equity funds with international opportunities. Known for its operational excellence and hands-on approach, that’s exactly what A&M brings to the table.

‘The Italian M&A landscape is evolving, with private equity playing a growing role in supporting business transformations and succession planning, particularly in the industrial and B2B sectors.’

Expecting to build on strong market momentum, the firm is actively working to expand its Italian Corporate Finance team to meet growing client demand.

‘We are in the process of hiring additional mid-senior professionals with complementary expertise, who will join the team by this autumn,’ added Turelli. ‘Our goal is to build a best-in-class platform capable of serving clients across a broader range of sectors and transaction types.’

Jonathan Boyers, Managing Director and Head of A&M’s Corporate Finance practice in EMEA, explained: ‘Italy is a key jurisdiction in the European mid-market M&A space. It holds strategic importance in our growth plans as we continue to build our integrated, cross-border offering, underpinned by our network of 135+ Corporate Finance professionals across EMEA. Maximiliano’s expertise in the industrial sector, especially, will help us support a key pillar of the Italian economy, which boasts deep entrepreneurial roots and internationally recognised know-how.’

Stefano Matalucci, Managing Director at A&M’s Private Equity Performance Improvement practice and Head of A&M in Italy, added: ‘Maximiliano has built a solid track record supporting clients across sectors – we’re delighted to welcome a leader of his calibre to our growing team in Milan. The launch of the Corporate Finance practice will enhance the strength and visibility of the A&M brand in Italy, complement our range of existing service lines, and stand the firm in good stead as we grow and evolve to support clients for the long term.’
