He has developed a deep understanding of the Italian and European gaming and betting markets, advising operators on authorisation, licensing and public security requirements, as well as on claims for damages relating to regulatory shortcomings and delays, and enforcement issues, including proceedings before the Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
