Baker McKenzie Advises Bain Capital on Exclusive Signaturit Negotiations.
Baker McKenzie is advising Bain Capital on its entry into exclusive negotiations to integrate Signaturit with the Namirial Group, further advancing Bain’s strategic expansion in the European Digital Transaction Management (DTM) sector.
The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals and employee representative consultations.

Max Pellegrini, CEO of Namirial Group, commented: “Businesses are operating in an increasingly digital environment, where stringent security and compliance standards are the norm. Digital Transaction Management software solutions have become essential for meeting these requirements. We are extremely pleased to welcome Pierre and the whole Signaturit team to Namirial and look forward to partnering with them and our shareholders to drive growth in the next years.”
Pierre Feligioni, CEO of Signaturit, stated: “Together, we have a significant opportunity to drive innovation, expand into key international geographies, and deliver even greater value to our customers. We’re confident that our combined strengths will shape the future of Digital Transaction Management across Europe and beyond. I am pleased to join the ambitious project of the Group and partner with Max and the whole team to develop the business into the leading DTM platform in the next years.”
