Firm Overview:

Founded nearly three decades ago by Stefano Zunarelli, the firm has ever since been committed to offering its clients a full range of legal services. Thanks to a rapid growth in the number of its professionals with expertise in different practice areas (including several coming from academia), the firm quickly became one of the leading firms in Italy, not only in maritime and transportation law, but also in litigation and arbitration, administrative law, commercial law, corporate law and international law in general. Moreover, in order to ensure geographical proximity and direct presence in the regional areas of its clients, over the years the firm has opened nine branches throughout Italy, two overseas offices in China and Mozambique, and has formed ‘best friendships’ with major foreign law firms in other countries.

Main Areas of Practice:
