Fabio Marelli combines a steady professional activity and experience in complex restructurings with an academic role, being a Professor of Insolvency Law at the University of Pavia and author of several publications on insolvency matters.
Clients assisted by Fabio range from publicly-held companies to private companies in diverse sectors (manufacturing, wholesale and retail, logistics), to large global organisations. The diversity of clients and business sectors is coupled with the variety of assistance that Fabio provides to clients, in both judicial and out-of-court restructurings, as well as in distressed M&A deals on buyers’ side and in handling all types of issues arising when clients have to deal with a distressed or insolvent counterparty in a contractual relationship.
Fabio’s extensive experience is joined with his global reach on and wide knowledge of insolvency law due to his academic role, which translates into his assistance being of the utmost value to clients.
He has been a member of the Commission appointed by the Minister of Justice which drew up the draft new Insolvency Code which has been enacted by legislative decree No. 14/2019.
