Real estate funds & SGRs
Establishment, management and wind-down of Italian real estate investment funds (FIA immobiliari). Regulatory relationships with Bank of Italy and CONSOB. Fund regulations, depositary agreements, side letters.
Real estate funds, structured acquisitions, mortgage securitizations (art. 7.1 and 7.2 Law 130/99), ReoCo vehicles, asset management. A practice area designed for those who view real estate as an asset class — not as an isolated transaction.
Real estate, for Studio Legale Tofani, is not a generalist practice — it is the natural extension of the Banking & NPL area. Because a real estate asset is almost always, first and foremost, a mortgage collateral — and because securitization, valorization and recovery operations on mortgage credit require an integrated reading across real property law, banking law and financial law.
We assist SGRs and real estate AIFs, banks and servicers, institutional investors and real estate companies in operations built around property as a financial instrument.
The market context demands this. In 2025, Italian real estate moved €12.5 billion in investments (+23% YoY), the second-best historical result. Meanwhile, the secured NPE secondary market remains structural — while Italian real estate enforcement proceedings (averaging 6 years to auction completion) make alternative recovery vehicles like ReoCo operationally critical.
