For more than a decade, Merrill Lynch has helped UniCredito Italiano SpA (UniCredit) grow and strengthen its business. When UniCredit wanted to expand beyond Italy, long-time advisor Andrea Orcel and his European investment banking team found an opportunity to transform UniCredit into a regional powerhouse. In the largest European cross-border bank transaction in history, UniCredit acquired German bank, HVB AG.
