International expertise, local roots

Intellectual property is a constantly evolving field, deeply influenced by European and international law. Effectively protecting a creative work requires more than knowledge of Italian law — it requires a global vision.

My training at the Institute of Art and Law in London and the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, combined with my lecturing at IED and collaboration with international institutions, allows me to handle even the most complex situations with up-to-date tools and a network of contacts in Italy and abroad.

I am a Cassazione-qualified lawyer based in Venice. I work in Italian, English, Spanish and French.

Perché tutelare la proprietà intellettuale a Venezia

Venezia è una città unica nel panorama culturale mondiale. Ospita la Biennale d’Arte e di Architettura, numerose fondazioni private di rilevanza internazionale, gallerie, musei e istituzioni che attraggono artisti e creativi da tutto il mondo. In questo contesto, le questioni legate alla proprietà intellettuale sono all’ordine del giorno.

Che si tratti di un artista che espone per la prima volta, di una galleria che gestisce i diritti sulle opere del proprio catalogo, o di un’azienda che vuole proteggere il proprio marchio in Italia e all’estero, avere al proprio fianco un avvocato specializzato in proprietà intellettuale a Venezia fa la differenza.

Mi occupo anche di tutela dei contenuti digitali e delle opere pubblicate online, un ambito in rapida evoluzione in cui la violazione dei diritti avviene spesso in modo inconsapevole. La protezione preventiva è quasi sempre più efficace e meno costosa di un contenzioso.

Per i clienti internazionali offro consulenza in inglese, spagnolo e francese, con la possibilità di operare in coordinamento con studi legali esteri per le questioni transfrontaliere.
