About

Described as, ‘agile and flexible’ by the Avanade senior director, regional legal counsel lead for Italy, Poland, Spain and Portugal, Francesco Paolino, the company’s legal team is composed of three lawyers and one trainee. As the legal support of a leading provider of innovative digital and cloud services, the team is highly specialised in IT and new technology law, as well as in privacy law. The team is tasked with supporting commercial and business structures of Avanade in a very international and diverse environment. ‘In the last couple of years the team has remained quite stable. However, thanks to the flexibility of the team and the international environment, we were able to make a very effective rotation to the job, allowing Italian lawyers to temporarily move into other jurisdictions, experiencing different corporate environments’, explains Paolino. Over the last year, the team has provided full legal support to the Italian group presence of 900 employees localised in five different locations around the country. The team has also driven highly strategic projects such as contracting training initiatives all-around Europe, enabling a significant turn-around in European legal support model by teaching crucial contracting skills to sales and technical teams in more than 10 different geographies. ‘The Avanade legal team is an approachable, reliable and courageous strategic partner to the business. We are motivated by solving problems with integrity and actively promoting and further developing our business. Our flexible ways of working as well as our highly differentiated and diverse team members make us stand out as a group’, adds Paolino.
