Milan, July 16, 2025 – Lexsential Law Firm assisted a group of investors in a strategic transaction in the blockchain and digital world, providing its clients with blockchain services and confirming its expertise and focus on innovation and technological transformation.
The firm assisted Kelipe di Andrea Biffi (former CEO and shareholder of SOFAR S.p.A., former board member of Asensus Inc. – a NYSE-listed company recently acquired by Karl Storz – president of 1Med S.A., CRO, Advisor to Alfasigma S.p.A., board member of many international companies in the healthcare sector, and serial investor in the healthcare world), Stefano Farina (entrepreneur and investor in the healthcare sector), and Enrico Perfler (founder and board member of 1Med S.A.CRO, active in the pharma and medtech sectors and investor in healthcare) in the investment round in DigitCo and in the latter’s acquisition of Tokenance’s digital assets.
Tokenance is an innovative start-up that develops solutions combining blockchain systems and artificial intelligence, including the Tokenance Digital Product Passport + AI platform. In particular, the digital product passport introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, known as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), will make detailed information accessible throughout the entire life cycle of a product (production, sale, recycling, or disposal). It is intended to have a direct impact on promoting transparency and traceability of materials, improving resource management, and will be a very useful tool for promoting a transparent, responsible, and sustainable model and will foster the circular economy. It is expected to come into force in 2027, but many companies are already taking steps to be ready. The applications are wide-ranging and diverse. The mix of digital means and blockchain ensures data traceability and security.
This M&A transaction paves the way for strategic collaboration between Lexsential and DigitCo to adopt these tools within the law firm, confirming its position as one of the most dynamic and active law firms in the field of innovation. Not only that, but these services of digital compliance are made directly available to its clients.
The Lexsential Corporate team that handled the transaction was led by partners Stefano Candela and Pasquale Di Mino, with support from Teresa Candela, Marta Cosi, Dimitri Cuzzocrea, and Silvia Sarracino.
