Accuracy discusses post-deal value creation at Legalcommunity Week

At Legalcommunity Week, Accuracy Director Marco Sala took part in a roundtable discussion dedicated to “Post-Deal Integration in M&A: Navigating Financial, Operational and Governance Challenges”, alongside executives, investors and legal advisers from across the Italian market.

The discussion focused on one of the most critical phases of any transaction: the successful integration of the target business after closing. While significant attention is often devoted to deal execution, panellists highlighted that the ability to deliver synergies and create long-term value frequently depends on decisions taken well before the transaction is completed.

A key theme that emerged from the discussion was the importance of preparing integration during the due diligence phase. Early identification of operational, financial and governance challenges can help organisations anticipate risks, align integration priorities and accelerate value creation once the transaction closes.

As Marco Sala noted during the session, “Closing is not the finish line, but the starting point of value creation.”

The roundtable brought together a diverse range of perspectives from corporate leaders, investors and advisers, reflecting the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of post-deal integration and the need for close coordination between strategic, operational and governance considerations.

Thank you to all the panellists for the engaging discussion:
