Allen & Overy has advised the global alternative asset manager, Cheyne Capital Management LLP, on the transaction to re-finance the acquisition of a majority stake in Sereno Hotels by an affiliate of KSL Capital Partners, a private equity firm specialising in travel and leisure enterprises.

The Allen & Overy team in France was coordinated by partner Caroline Delavet supported by senior associate Chloé Detroussel.

In Italy, the team was led by partner Pietro Scarfone supported by associate Fabio Gregoris and trainee Gianmarco Volino and also included counsel Elia Ferdinando Clarizia and associate Doris Ceoromila on tax-related matters, senior associate Roberta Errico on administrative law and real estate aspects, and counsel Antonio Ferri on corporate profiles.
