Over the years we have become the legal and strategic advisors of choice for global software houses and digital service providers. Most of our lawyers know life in tech corporations from the inside having acted as in-house counsels, which allows us to fully understand our clients’ needs and provide true commercial and strategic advice.
As technology becomes pervasive and spills out into once-more-traditional sectors, we are increasingly assisting clients in the fashion, cosmetics, retail, manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries in relation to technology-related commercial agreements
Businesses at the forefront of crypto and blockchain innovation typically come to us when venturing into the Italian markets. Over the last few years, we have assisted crypto exchanges and wallet service providers – as well as players at the fringe of the crypto world, such as DeFi platforms- in relation to a broad range of regulatory issues.
We also advise online trading platforms in relation to their derivative crypto offerings. As crypto is increasingly partnering up with elite sport (and especially football) teams, we regularly advise in relation to complex sponsoring agreements.
We ensure that our clients comply with data privacy regulations. At a time when even corporates operating in the traditional sectors venture into the sharing economy, we regard data privacy and data security compliance as one of our main practice areas.

The digitization of economy has deeply impacted on employer/ staff dynamics. Digital devices now allow employers to measure executives and key employees’ performance with an unprecedented degree of accuracy.
At the same time, business reorganizations have become more agile and easier to carry out, while the gig economy is both granting business opportunities and posing serious challenges to industry innovators. We have experienced, from the inside, that the workplace has undergone a dramatic change in the past few years as a result of digitization and are best placed to help our clients weather the relevant challenges.
We also advise directors and executives in relation to discrimination, dismissals and demotions matters.

We particularly enjoy advising our clients in relation to technology-related investment services and activities, as well as e-money and payment institutions.
We advise clients on private and retail banking disputes as well as on fraud and asset recovery matters. We act for, and against, banks and other financial institutions; hedge funds and other funds as well as individuals.

We regularly advise financial technology firms providing payment services, as well as robo-advice, algorithmic credit scoring and related services both in respect of regulatory and contractual matters.
Over the past few years, Italy has enacted several statutes allowing authorities to block deals involving the disposal of national strategic assets.
