About

The legal team of upmarket Italian fashion business Max Mara is spoken of highly by a nominating source, who claims the team has ‘a very business orientated approach’ and the staff within it ‘are very open minded when it comes to solutions’. When it comes to the legal risk assumed across all of the company’s high value clothing labels, the legal team is a fast-moving and legally diligent function and help ensure that the company’s brands and trademarks are well protected. With a total revenue figure of €1.2bn, the group has a total of 41 companies and over 5,000 employees operating in 105 countries, necessitating an approach from its legal team that is international in scope and flexible as to whichever of the group companies or regions the work arises in. Special praise is given by nominators to Massimo Camellini, who is described as a ‘key point of contact between HR and legal’, facilitating the relationships between the internal legal team, human resources staff and externally appointed law firm attorneys.
