Me in a minute
I enjoy getting to know my clients and their businesses
I have always enjoyed a good argument and finding solutions where others have failed and in the past 25 years have come to enjoy taking clients through the inevitable strains and stresses of commercial disputes and out the other side.
Since I grew up in Italy and speak fluent Italian I have for almost all of my professional life acted for Italian companies and investors and enjoy getting to know my new clients and their businesses.
I am often asked to help mediate between the competing Anglo Saxon approach to disputes and the more 'commercial' approach taken by European clients and crossing that divide is a real joy.
I get a real kick out of seeing those I interviewed as potential trainees finally qualify into my department and in some cases even making partner so I must along the road have got something right.
When not in the office I try to guide a small white ball into 18 holes in a number of shots which is ideally less than 90 ...as a means of relaxation.
