Kroll Launches Transaction Advisory Services in Italy

Extends Kroll's leading independent support to a growing investment market

New York, NY-Kroll, the leading independent provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, has launched its Transaction Advisory Services in Italy, further expanding the firm's footprint across Europe and strengthening its ability to support clients in complex domestic and cross-border transactions.

Kroll's new practice in Italy will support corporate clients and private equity firms with buy-side and sell-side due diligence, offering corporate and financial investors deep accounting and technical expertise, commercial knowledge, industry insight and seamless analytical services across the deal continuum.

The newly launched practice will be led by Mario De Munno, Managing Director, who is based in Milan and brings extensive experience in financial due diligence and transaction advisory. Prior to joining Kroll, Mario served as Partner at Nexia Audirevi. He has also held roles at Forvis Mazars and KPMG, where he built his expertise in financial due diligence and deal advisory. He has supported both Italian and pan-European private equity funds in executing buy-and-build strategies, providing rigorous financial analysis and insights that help clients navigate deal challenges.

"It's an exciting time to join Kroll. Last year, deal activity in Italy rebounded in both volume and value terms, with momentum concentrated in the small and mid-cap segments, where disciplined financial due diligence is essential to informed investment decision making," says Mario De Munno, Managing Director, Transaction Advisory Services. "This year we expect to see continued deal activity with capital concentrated in more selective, strategic transactions, as well as further portfolio optimization and increased cross-border flows. Meanwhile, some pent-up market demand continues to wait for clearer local and global exit conditions."

The establishment of Kroll's Transaction Advisory Services in Italy builds on the practice's decades-long, deep domain expertise and strong international presence. The global team advises on the full deal lifecycle, including valuation services, forensic and investigations, cyber risk, as well as real estate advisory, employing an approach that focuses on value drivers and deal-breakers that are critical to investment decisions. This extends to pre-deal intelligence, financial due diligence, asset valuation and post-deal forensics.

"We are delighted to welcome Mario to our team," says Paola Ricciardi, Managing Director and City Leader Milan, Kroll. "The launch of the Transaction Advisory Services practice reinforces Kroll's platform and presence in the Italian market."

"Kroll is the definitive authority at the intersection of valuation, risk and transactions," says Michael Weaver, Managing Director and International Valuation Advisory Services Leader, Kroll. "This expansion reflects the firm's commitment to providing seamless, cross border support to clients navigating increasingly competitive and dynamic markets."
