Expressing his satisfaction with the completed transaction, Giorgio Bott\u00e0<\/strong>, Head of Corporate Finance and M&A BU <\/strong>at Phoenix Capital<\/strong>, stated:

“Since October 2024, this is our fourth deal in the insurance brokerage sector. Today, aggregation represents a fundamental strategic choice for brokers in terms of growth and innovation. The increasing automation of processes and the central role of technology require solid structures and investments that only well-capitalized organizations can sustain. At the same time, the need to comply with an increasingly complex and stringent regulatory framework makes it difficult for independent firms to maintain high standards without adequate critical mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transition into Consulbrokers will enable IGB not only to further strengthen its specialist expertise, but also to expand cross-selling opportunities for clients, ensuring tailored and highly diversified advisory services. This represents mutual value creation for all parties involved, fostering process and technology integration and the enhancement of human capital. As financial advisor to the transaction, we believe that the value of a deal is fully realized in the post-closing phase, where it is essential to support companies through a smooth technological and operational integration process, keeping people at the core of the shared growth strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADVISORS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Phoenix Capital, IGB<\/strong> was advised by Solving \u2013 Studio Legale e Tributario<\/strong>, with a team comprising partners Annalisa Pescatori<\/strong> and Francesco Pellone<\/strong>, and, for corporate law matters, associate Luciano Vassallo<\/strong> and Giacomo Roveraro<\/strong>. For due diligence activities, the seller relied on Dr. Goffredo Faracca<\/strong> and Attorney Giuseppe Ceppaluni<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BonelliErede<\/strong> assisted Consulbrokers S.p.A.<\/strong> with a multidisciplinary team led by partner Stefano Micheli<\/strong>, head of the Insurance Focus Team, and composed, for corporate and M&A matters, of managing associate Marco Cislaghi<\/strong>, associate Melian Zheng<\/strong>, and Alessandro Chiarini<\/strong>. Partner Ilaria Parrilla<\/strong>, senior associate Giulia Lucchini<\/strong>, associate Alessandro Nicolini<\/strong>, and Alessia Martorella<\/strong> handled the banking aspects.
