LCA Studio Legale

Intellectual property

Claudio deals with copyright law and in this field he carries out both judicial and extrajudicial activities.
He has a long and consolidated experience in book publishing, magazine publishing, music publishing and production, television and movies production, and any other field in which intellectual works are involved, including where these intersect with new technologies and artificial intelligence.
For several years, he has coordinated a tourism law team, assisting Italian and foreign clients operating in the Italian market.

Claudio began his professional activity in Studio Leonelli, one of the first Italian firms dedicated to copyright law, founded by his father and active in Rome since the early 1960s.
He took the reins in 1999 and moved its head office to Milan, expanding its activities and thus establishing the firm ‘Leonelli & Partners’, which he managed until its merger into LCA in 2023. Since 2015, his firm has also been permanently involved, among the first, in Tourism Law.
He was extraordinary administrator of the “Ente Regionale per i Servizi Universitari dell’Umbria”, and then chairman of the board of directors of the “Agenzia per il Diritto alla Studio Universitario”.
He was a member of the board of directors of the Italian University for Foreigners in Perugia.
