One of the world’s oldest cities and a cradle of European
culture, Rome is also a dynamic, 21st century commercial
center right in step with today’s global marketplace. With its
focus on innovation, technology and communications, Italy’s
capital has emerged as the driving force behind the country’s
economy. Today, Rome accounts for a larger share of GDP and
posts a higher rate of growth than any other Italian city.
While tourism will probably always be a staple, banking,
insurance, high-tech industries, fashion and publishing
comprise increasingly large slices of the Roman economy. The
city is also home to a growing number of international
agencies and corporate headquarters.
StayLaw clients

Studio Santa Maria. Dual-qualified StayLaw attorneys, based in New
York, work closely with attorneys from Studio Santa Maria to

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
