His clients include industrial corporations, financial institutions and private equity funds operating in various sectors such as telecom, luxury, energy, food and infrastructure. If you need a proactive lawyer with a commercial approach and cutting-edge knowledge on international and domestic M&A transactions as well as Italian corporate law, no matter how complex the issue is, Luca is here to help you.

He heads up a tailored team of lawyers focussed on executing each deal in the most effective way.
Luca is ranked as a Leading Individual in Corporate/M&A by Legal 500 EMEA 2015, and has been consistently highly ranked by Chambers since 2006: in 2015 he was ranked Band 3 both in Corporate/M&A and in Private Equity in Chambers Global and Europe Editions, which describe him as 'very commercial and willing to take risks'. In 2015 he won the Legal community award as Rising Star in the Energy Sector. Luca is author of many publications on corporate matters, including share purchase agreements, directors' liability, leveraged buy-out transactions, tender offers and de-mergers. His technical prowess derives also from his longstanding academic activities, for example as lecturer on Business Law at the Bocconi University in Milan.
