About

Recognised in 2016’s GC Powerlist: Italy, Giorgia Armanni is the lead lawyer in the team of seven at Italian luxury goods company Furla, and describes the function as having achieved an ‘amazing’ amount of work necessitated by ‘rapid growth’ within the business. A multicultural team of four lawyers of different nationalities in addition to three non-legal staff, the culture of the function is based around ‘leadership, passion, energy and being solutions oriented’, and the team has had to utilise these qualities in dealing with a lot of change in the last couple of years. In addition to an increase in staff and hiring a dedicated resource for IP matters, the team has expanded across geographic areas ‘actively and proactively covering new areas of Russia, China and Australia’ in addition to the new business areas of ‘IT, logistics and supply chain’, showing their versatility and diligence. A well-integrated function, the Furla legal team has close relationships with the CEO and the company president – Armanni explains that ‘all members of the legal team interact on a daily basis with top managers worldwide’, further showing their willingness and ability to be key partners. Summing up her team’s achievements, Armanni states: ‘We succeeded in creating a legal culture inside the company and in getting all departments committed to working with us as business partners’. This was evident in their recent, group-wide implementation of a privacy compliance policy, which involved training employees and creating a ‘privacy compliance culture’ within the group. In addition to Armanni, the lawyers cited for particular contributions to the team’s success are named as Giulia Bacchi Reggiani, who leads the IT department in the definition of all main agreements and Arianna Iacomelli, who negotiated and formalised all main licence agreements across textiles, watches and glasses products. Also mentioned is Antonio Puteo, who leads the travel retail team in negotiating frame agreements worldwide with key account clients.
