Crowe acted as lead adviser to the shareholders of Altitec. The Crowe team was led by Matteo Timpani with support from Hazel Lucian.
"I met Matteo a number of years ago by recommendation to speak about the future of my company, and the pros and cons of a sale to interested parties who wanted to invest in Altitec. Matteo, Hazel and the Crowe team were incredibly hard working alongside our legal advisors and ourselves and guided us through what ended up being a long and complex process. Their commitment to the project and advice throughout was invaluable!"
