Anita Lucchini

I am an associate in the Finance & Financial Regulation team at the Milan office with a focus on banking and financial law.

I regularly assist financial institutions, companies, and FinTech companies in various types of domestic and cross-border financial transactions, particularly in structured finance, securitisation, and debt capital markets transactions.

I handle all legal aspects of the transactions, from assisting in the definition of the legal structure, including related regulatory issues, to drafting and negotiating the relevant contractual documentation.

As regards the securitisation area, I have been involved in numerous transactions, both private and public, including STS and SRT, involving asset classes in various sectors, e.g., banking, automotive, corporate, tax, and digital platforms.

In the field of more traditional financing transactions, I have also worked on ESG and energy transition projects.

• Advised CA-Auto Bank in the context of a public, STS, SRT securitisation transaction of auto loan receivables originated by the latter, with a total value of approximately € 419 million. BofA Securities, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank and UniCredit Bank GmbH acted as Joint Lead Managers under the transaction.
• Advised Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane on its Euro 3.5 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility.
