Professional background

I work in the field of corporate law and intellectual property, with a particular focus on the technology sector and the enhancement of companies' intangible assets. I assist Italian and international clients in defining highly innovative legal strategies, supporting them both in the management of IP rights and in the structuring and governance of their companies.

I deal with patents, trademarks, designs, trade secrets, software, AI, copyright and unfair competition, assisting clients in litigation — before national and European courts — and in out-of-court proceedings, which include:

  • definition of strategies for the protection, management and enhancement of intangible and technological assets;
  • technology transfer operations and evaluation of related IP rights;
  • filing and management of trademarks and other intellectual property rights;
  • drafting of opinions and contracts in the field of IP, tech and corporate law;
  • due diligence activities in M&A and venture capital contexts.

I have gained specific expertise in the following areas:

  • M&A and venture capital, with particular experience in assisting start-ups and scale-ups in investment, growth and divestment transactions;
  • Corporate governance and corporate compliance;
  • Innovative start-ups, from incorporation to development, through to financing rounds and extraordinary transactions;
  • Artificial intelligence and tech law, with advice on development models, data management, technology licensing, liability and regulatory compliance.

I adopt a pragmatic and business-oriented approach, with the aim of providing clients with concrete, effective legal solutions that are fully aligned with their development and innovation strategies.
