I'm an Italian national and I am admitted to practice as a Solicitor in England & Wales and as a French Avocat in Paris, France.

I have participated in arbitrations before the major arbitral institutions, including the ICC, the LCIA, UNCITRAL, ICSID, the Milan Chamber of Arbitration (CAM), and the PCA. My practice focuses on the construction, energy and oil & gas sectors, especially in the Middle East and Africa. I have experience in construction and energy disputes, as part of commercial arbitration and investment treaty proceedings.

I am the President of the Franco-British Lawyers Society for England and Wales.
