What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters professional growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated corporate attorney with extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and corporate governance. My legal journey began with a Juris Doctor from the University of Naples Federico II, followed by an LL.M. from LMU Loyola Law School. I have successfully contributed to structuring and executing complex legal agreements, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and providing actionable insights that drive client success.

Currently, as an Associate Attorney at LR Lex in Milan, I have played a pivotal role in executing multiple M&A transactions and drafting a wide array of legal documents. My previous experience as a Corporate Law Clerk at Wolf and Snow, PC, allowed me to support numerous startups in optimizing their compliance processes and enhancing operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging my legal expertise to help clients navigate the complexities of corporate law and achieve their strategic objectives.
