DLA Piper
Client SatisfactionDLA Piper’s administrative and public law team provides comprehensive advice to clients operating in various industries, ranging from infrastructure, real estate and transportation to telecoms, healthcare and life sciences. Jointly led by Germana Cassar and Giorgia Romitelli, the practice is particularly strong in the energy sector, especially in energy regulation and in the construction of renewable energy plants.

In addition to her specialism in the energy sector, Alessia Marconi is also noted for handling complex litigation and transactions related to state and private education regulation. In the life sciences and medical devices sectors, Romitelli stands out for leading contentious matters before the administrative courts. Other key names include Carmen Chierchia, who is regularly instructed by real estate and industrial companies seeking advice on town planning, building and environmental law, and administrative litigation and public contracts expert Anna Mazzoncini.
