The Milan-based practice at Greenberg Traurig Santa Maria is particularly active in NPL matters and real estate financings. Corrado Angelelli is group head; Alessio Gerhart Ruvolo‘s workload includes sustainable and impact finance; and Davide Bonsi focuses on structured finance. In a significant boost for the practice, the firm hired veteran banking, finance and restructuring lawyer Riccardo Agostinelli, along with Daniele Migliarucci and Marco Leonardi, from Molinari Agostinelli in October 2024.
