International capabilities

Our team has professionals admitted to practice in jurisdictions throughout Europe and the Americas.

To better serve our clients, we have four dedicated foreign desks:

French Desk

Our French desk relies on a team of attorneys and legal experts fluent in French, with in-depth knowledge of the legal and cultural context, and who foster close professional as well as personal ties with France. Our team brings significant experience in France and Italy with lawyers admitted to practice in both countries. The team is led by Laurence Bulan, who is admitted to practice in France with both a full legal education and work experience, and Luigi Cascone, who has both Italian and French degrees as well as experience working with both countries.

For over 10 years now, French companies and top managers investing in Italy, or with interests in Italy, have relied on our French desk for assistance and advice.

German Desk

Our German desk serves business clients from Italy and from German speaking countries. In either case, we speak their language and know their way of thinking – and are likewise perfectly at home in both countries’ ways. We handle cross border operations with the same speed and efficiency as any domestic operation, with a focus on M&A, corporate, commercial law and business contracts, and employer-side top-tier labour law issues.

Our German Desk has been headed since 2004 by Martin Hartl, formerly a partner in a top German law firm who, at the start of his career, completed a full legal education both in Rome (laurea and esame di avvocato) and in Munich (two State Exams and doctorate).

Latin American Desk

Ughi e Nunziante’s Latin American Desk offers consultancy and assistance for cross-border transactions between Italy, Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, across all practice areas.

Our team of Spanish and Portuguese speaking professionals is led by Eduardo Lorenzetti Marques. Italo-Brazilian, Eduardo holds an LLM from the London School of Economics and a PhD from the University of Sao Paulo. He is licensed in Brazil, Portugal and Italy, and for over 25 years has been assisting Latin American companies in their investments in Europe and international clients operating in Latin America, especially in Brazil.

US Desk

Our US desk consists of US and Italian natives, with members qualified to practice in both countries. Deep experience in the United States enables our team to provide a coordinated approach to a wide range of legal matters for both American and European clients who are operating in both jurisdictions.

The desk is headed by Emily Maxwell, whose American education and experience brings a unique value to our team. Throughout her career, she has represented some of the most recognized companies in the world and is admitted to practice in both California and the United Kingdom. Members of our US desk work closely with our lawyers qualified in Italy and in other European countries enabling us to provide a high level of service when our clients’ needs involve the United States and Italy.
