Bird & Bird LLP

Intellectual Property; Dispute Resolution

As Counsel in our Dispute Resolution and Commercial practice groups I assist clients in civil and commercial litigation matters, as well as in commercial agreements and corporate transactions between companies active in energy & utilities, in the transport market and in the food and beverage industry. I spent ten years in the Rome office, joining during its initial set up, and now work in Milan.

Advising our domestic and international clients on contentious matters and contractual issues relating to corporate and commercial law, I assist on a number of sectors, including energy & utilities, transport, food & beverage and sport. In recent years, I have represented primary operators before the national courts and the regulatory bodies overseeing the energy, transport and technology sectors. I specialise in complex disputes relating to sale and distribution of gas and to public transport of passenger.

I also have extensive experience in dealing with the commercial issues that companies face day by day. In relation to the sport area, I have developed significant experience in the disputes between clubs and professional athletes before the Basketball Arbitral Tribunal of Geneva.

One of the aims in my relationship with clients has always been to ensure immediate feedback and advice on a day to day basis.

Before joining the team at Bird & Bird in 2005, I worked with a traditional law firm in Naples, focusing on civil litigation, insolvency procedures and arbitration, and advising clients on commercial and contractual issues.
