International fitness equipment manufacturers Technogym have been supported by Paolo Fabiani’s legal department in recent years, particularly with matters related to the ‘significant increase of the business operations of the company’. As head of the company’s legal department, Fabiani and his team have helped provide a solid foundation for these increases, being challenged by supporting growth with particular reference to ‘the strategical operations of turnaround in overseas countries’. Market sources state that Fabiani enjoys the possibility to ‘use his business acumen and not to only serve the company as a corporate lawyer’, but also ‘being able to contribute to the company growth’. Proving the specialisation and care with which international legal matters are dealt with by Fabiani with his internal team, use of law firms is made up of ‘boutique firms with an international approach’ from which he values ‘transparency in any kind of relationship in terms of ethics and fair approaches with our counterparties’. These selections have been one of the key changes he’s made to the department since his appointment in 2010; successfully implementing a network of localised external counsel wherever the company operates to cover Technogym’s operations across 14 branches in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Middle East and Australia. A Bologna bar admitted lawyer and previous employee of Rosetti Marino, an international company operating in the oil, gas and maritime industries, sources vouch for Fabiani’s methods, saying he ‘always finds the right solution to any issues you may manage’, applauding his ‘rigorous approach to analysing issues’ and ‘creative problem-solving attitude’.
