BonelliErede
BonelliErede‘s data protection and privacy practice in Milan sits within the firm’s wider IP team. The practice regularly assists with interactions with data protection authorities, challenging authorities’ decisions before the courts, and providing guidance throughout inspections and investigations. The group also advises on the data and privacy protection side of outsourcing agreements and commercial and technological joint ventures, and on aspects of such matters related to IoT and AI. Tommaso Faelli heads up the digital innovation focus team. Anna La Mura specialises in privacy and data protection. Giulia Tenaglia advises on the usage of new tech in regulated and non-regulated sectors. The arrival of Ivan Rotunno, Alessandro De Nicola and Giulia Rivarola di Roccella from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in February 2024 further boosted the practice.
