BLV – Belvedere & Partners

BLV – Belvedere & Partners is a Milan-based boutique law firm with 50 years of experience in administrative law, urban planning, and real estate. Founded by Antonio Belvedere, the firm has established itself as one of Italy's leading practices in public law, zoning and planning, and corporate real estate transactions, advising Italian and international clients across the full spectrum of asset classes and investment strategies.

The firm operates through two complementary departments: the Urban Planning, Procurement and Construction Department, led by founding partner Antonio Belvedere and co-managing partners Matteo Peverati and Simone Pisani and further strengthened by the arrival of Maria Grazia Lanero, one of Italy's most recognised experts in administrative and real estate law, who joined as Partner in 2024; and the Corporate Real Estate Department, led by Veronica Vitiello, who brings over 26 years of experience in real estate transactions and fund structuring.

The firm's administrative law practice covers zoning and town planning procedures, building permits, urban planning agreements with municipalities, environmental and heritage protection procedures, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and administrative litigation before the TAR and the Council of State.

The Corporate Real Estate team handles acquisitions and disposals of individual assets, portfolios, and real estate companies; fund formation and SICAF structuring; joint ventures and development projects; commercial leasing and management contracts; and distressed asset management and corporate insolvencies.
