Since the late 1960s, Milan has undergone a dramatic de-industrialization
and economic revival. What was once a gritty manufacturing
town has become an international capital for fashion, design,
media, entertainment, high-tech and other innovative
industries. Today, Milan is also Italy’s financial center –
home to la Borsa Valori, the Italian stock exchange, and more
than 100 banks. Increasingly, the city is recognized as an
important marketplace for international business and finance.
StayLaw clients
benefit from our strategic alliance with the Italian law firm
Studio Santa Maria. Dual-qualified StayLaw attorneys, based in New
York, work closely with attorneys from Studio Santa Maria to
man our “Italian Desk” – advising Italian-based clients
regarding their activities in the United States, as well as
counseling U.S. and other clients investing or doing business
in Italy.
Our alliance extends the
reach of many StayLaw practices, including mergers and acquisitions,
tax, antitrust, banking and financial markets, business
restructuring and bankruptcy, intellectual property, and
international litigation and arbitration. Our Italian team
provides clients of both firms with seamless service, counsel
and access on both global and local matters.
With offices in Milan and
Rome, Studio Santa Maria offers one of the most sophisticated
international practices among Italian-based law firms. Our
colleagues at Studio Santa Maria are fluent in English and
many have earned master of law or other advanced degrees from
universities outside of Italy, including in the United States. |
