Institutional and Strategic Consulting

Our institutional and strategic consulting service supported a multinational company in the eyewear sector with targeted interventions in complex markets such as Latin America, the United States, and Turkey between 2021 and 2023. We assisted the company in acquiring local players, addressing challenges related to competition and antitrust regulations.

Our expertise allowed us to identify market dynamics, analyze risks, and develop customized strategies to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, maximize the value of the operation, and protect the company’s competitive position in the market.
Our approach is distinguished by an in-depth analysis of the economic and legal context of each country, integrated with an understanding of the cultural and operational peculiarities of the local market.

This enabled us to identify opportunities and mitigate potential obstacles, safeguarding our clients’ interests and building a tailored strategy to achieve their goals. Given the risk of delays in Antitrust Authority approval processes that could have compromised the timing of connected deals, Eastwest, without interfering in the final decision—which remains the exclusive competence of the Antitrust Authorities—emphasized the importance of reaching a final decision within reasonable timeframes, allowing the client to proceed as planned. Depending on the country, we addressed the authority directly or, more often, engaged the relevant Ministers to illustrate the long-term benefits of the investment, both in terms of employment and product pricing impact.

Operating across multiple continents demonstrated our ability to adapt to complex legislative contexts and propose strategic solutions that consider evolving regulations, helping client companies optimally position themselves within their target markets. Following successful crisis management interventions, we transitioned our efforts into a structured brand reputation strategy by organizing roundtables with parliamentarians and governors in key countries (USA), thereby anticipating future crises.
