In a legal career spanning more than 20 years, Maria Grazia has become a trusted point of reference for those multinational companies in the Life Sciences & Healthcare and Real Estate development sectors that intend to locate their business in Italy. She is Head of the Life Sciences and Healthcare team in Italy and as Osborne Clarke’s Italian specialist in each of these sectors, she heads up an experienced team that counsels a multinational client base. Her practice also focuses on real estate and leisure. Her specialism in life sciences and pharmaceuticals draws on technical acumen acquired while working with the industry, and it’s this practical knowledge that means her clients receive razor-sharp insight and guidance daily. The advice she provides covers the many complex areas, including litigation, facing the sector, such as: the production and sale of pharmaceutical products, active ingredients, medical devices, and food supplements; regulatory procedures for the granting of market authorisation, pricing and reimbursement of medicinal products; and representing clients before the regulatory agencies and in proceedings before the administrative courts. Maria Grazia also counsels Italian and international companies in the development, construction, and operation of real-estate complexes to be used for office, sanitary, retail and leisure use. At the same time, she has built over two decades’ experience assisting clients in the cinema sector, including advising on cinema advertising. She received her J.D. cum laude from the Sapienza University of Rome and she is admitted to appear before the Italian Supreme Court.
