About

Described as an ‘honest and transparent lawyer’, who is ‘skilled and fast in task execution’, Stefano Giberti is well regarded in Italy for his expertise in the healthcare sector. His exceptional work to assemble and lead a highly competent legal unit within the Italian-arm of the global medical technologies and services company GE Healthcare has been one of his many achievements. Following the completion of his legal studies at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Giberti’s legal career kicked off at Franzosi, a law firm with a strong presence in intellectual property and the life sciences sector. He then worked at the multinational polyolefin manufacturer Basell Polyolefins for three years, before embarking on his first role in healthcare at the privately-owned pharmaceutical group Helsinn Healthcare in Switzerland. His colleagues from his role at Helsinn Healthcare describe him as a highly intelligent lawyer with an ‘open-mind attitude’ and praise him for his work on resolving difficult supply-chain issues. Giberti’s interest in the healthcare sector became even more apparent when he participated in the Pharmaceutical Law Summer School at Imperial College in 2006 and subsequently joined the pharmaceuticals company Schering Plough (now part of Merck) as legal affairs manager. During the three years spent at the company, Giberti established himself as a professional with outstanding people skills and highly pragmatic approach to managing others, which eventually lead to his appointment as head of legal affairs at GE Healthcare in Italy. Apart from providing the company with exceptional legal advice on crucial joint ventures agreements, M&A deals, corporate governance and regulatory work, the past six years spent at GE Healthcare have allowed Giberti to establish himself as a well a regarded pharmaceutical lawyer with excellent reputation in intellectual property and licensing work.
