Intellectual property law is a core practice at De Berti Jacchia Franchini Forlani. Under the leadership of seasoned IP disputes expert Roberto A. Jacchia, the team handles the full scope of contentious and non-contentious IP and copyright matters for a variety of domestic and international clients from sectors including fashion, music, and broadcasting, as well as hard IP-intensive industries like life sciences and pharma, an area where litigator Silvia Doria specialises. Maria Cristina Franchini is another key cross-border litigator on the bench, and Alisa Pestryakova takes point on matters involving Russia for Italian clients. ‘Outstanding IP lawyer’ Andrea Terragni and Laura Bussoli joined the team last year to establish an in-house filing and prosecution practice which expanded the scope of IP services offered by the firm.
