Genoa: leading firms

The team at LCA Studio Legale advises clients on a range of matters, including contentious and non-contentious shipping, commercial, corporate and M&A, capital markets, and energy work. As part of this, the team represents clients in private equity, IT, and private clients. The team is led by the impressive trio of Benedetto Lonato, Davide Magnolia, and Riccardo Massimilla. Lonato specialises in domestic and cross-border M&A deals, capital markets transactions, and commercial law matters. Magnolia brings experience in contentious and non-contentious shipping matters, and Massimilla, too, supports the team with M&A and finance expertise.
