About

A young and ambitious lawyer, Giuliana Losavio has earned a formidable reputation in her legal career spanning 12 years. Starting out as a legal specialist in 2004, after two years of training in a law firm, Losavio spent three years in a media consulting company. ‘During this time I acquired the know-how to conduct my duties in autonomy, including company secretary, drafting supply contracts, and dealing with clients,’ she says. In January 2008 Losavio joined the raw materials company the Coeclerici Group, initially as legal advisor and since 2010 as senior legal advisor. Currently, the most senior legal employee at the company, Losavio has created a positive and collaborative environment in the legal team: ‘I believe that relationships are the basis for a good work as through them you may both improve your knowledge, acquire as much information as necessary to assist and last but not least, work in a healthy environment,’ she explains. In particular, Losavio has stood out with her work on a particular M&A project, involving a joint venture in Indonesia for the construction and employment of four bulk carriers with a local client for the trans-shipment of coal. To facilitate the transaction, Losavio had to negotiate long term contracts with the client and close $68m worth of project financing with a syndicate involving international banks in 2012. During this busy period, Losavio spent nearly three months in Jakarta and Singapore, in order to closely follow all of the legal aspects of the project, and assist local partners.
