I am a civil lawyer and have been building up my capabilities in consultancy and litigation in distribution law matters, focusing specifically on agency and distribution contracts, since the early ‘90s. In this field, I provide professional support to national and multinational, medium to large enterprises, operating in the publishing, mechanical, automotive and food sectors. I also have extensive experience in unfair competition issues and protection of intellectual property rights.
In the insurance sector, in addition to litigation between companies and agents, I also have experience in litigation arising from various insurance policy contracts.
I have been a member of the Bar since 1990 and have been a Supreme Court lawyer since January 2003.
I have acted on national and international arbitration panels, in both Italian and English.
Having been a professional sportsman, over time I redirected my passion for competition towards sports law, being appointed as a member of the boards of a number of national and international bodies and providing advice on institutional issues such as drafting and revising federal statutes and regulations, and in-house sports trials. I am an arbitrator on the Italian Football Pro League panel.
In my professional activity, I analyse the specific issues raised by my clients as well as the company’s overall needs, prioritising good client relationships and quick responses to their requests.
I started my career at my family’s law firm, established before the unification of Italy; I then became a partner at a law firm in Turin renowned for its intellectual property practice, where I worked for sixteen years; for the next seven years I was a partner at another leading law firm in Turin, with extensive experience in all fields of civil law, before finally joining Fieldfisher.
I spend my leisure time playing golf, skiing and enjoying physical exercise in general, particularly trekking. I am interested in architecture, arts, history, literature and in every constructive expression of human intelligence. When possible, I like travelling, contemplating nature, photographing and writing. For many years I have written a column in a monthly sports magazine for fun.
I advise my clients in Italian and English and have a good knowledge of French.
