The thriving administrative law practice at Chiomenti remains a go-to choice for both public and private national and international clients, which turn to the team for assistance in public procurement related to works, services and supplies, as well as in the context of public-private partnerships (PPP), infrastructure and energy projects, and transport-related issues, often dealt with in litigation before administrative courts and the European Court of Justice. Notably experienced in litigation work, especially in the infrastructure sector, practice co-head Filippo Brunetti has also been instructed in challenging TMT and public transport matters, while fellow co-head Giulio Napolitano‘s broad practice covers foreign direct investment screening, state-owned corporations’ organisation and action, renewable energy incentives, and financial market supervision. Sports law expert Alfredo Vitale specialises in public concessions and the real estate sector, most notably in building and town planning regulation. Federico Vanetti was a new arrival in 2023.
