Lener & Partners > Firm Profile
The firm is a corporate, financial services and real estate boutique, specialising in the provision of legal advice on corporate matters and on the whole range of financial services regulation, including contentious and restructuring matters.
The firm was established in November 2018 as a result of the spin-off of the Italian regulatory team of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer with whom the partners and senior associates have had a working relationship for more than 20 years.
Carlo Cipriani was involved in setting up the firm, with his 20 year’s experience in civil and company contentious law, as well as in arbitration, with the aim of promoting the field of contentious law in a phase of significant growth.
In 2020 the firm’s areas of specialisation were enhanced by the arrival of Anna Maria Schirru, as Of Counsel, who boasts a 20 year record in the financial and real estate sectors.
Our team of market-leading regulatory professionals have experience in setting up banks, asset management companies, investment firms, insurance companies as well as financial intermediaries providing regulated services.
Notable is the experience of the firm in advising on matters having a cross-border dimension which renders it ideally positioned to service international clients.
We advise Italian and foreign banks, asset managers, investment firms, depositaries, regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities, central counterparties, insurance companies, insurance brokers, pension funds, payment institutions offering in Italy and abroad regulated services and financial and insurance products in contentious and non-contentious matters.
Capitalising on the experience of Prof Raffaele Lener as liquidator appointed by the Italian resolution authorities for banks and investment firms, the firm has developed a strong insolvency and restructuring expertise.
