We are pleased to announce the beginning of the Global Forum, an event that underscores our expanding international presence. With over 60 jurisdictions within our network, under the leadership of our Managing Partner Francesco Sciaudone, we are prepared to host the sixth edition of our International Summit in Milan.

From November 4th to 6th, representatives from around the globe will convene to discuss market trends, future prospects, emerging technologies, and innovation. These workshops, held at our Milan headquarter, will provide a significant opportunity to exchange expertise and perspectives from various countries, offering a comprehensive view of the global market and introducing new challenges for growth and consolidation.

“The Global Forum represents three days of intensive work and networking for us, but also an event that fills us with pride for having established such an extensive and valuable network in a short period. The challenges are numerous, but our objectives are clear and well-defined. Grimaldi Alliance is increasingly ready to compete in international markets,” stated Francesco Sciaudone.

This prestigious event will bring together lawyers from 25 countries, offering a unique opportunity for open dialogue and the exchange of ideas. It will be an occasion to host our esteemed clients, reflect on past achievements, and strategize for future growth. Central to the program are two round tables where we will explore the economic challenges that companies face in an increasingly complex and international context.

Through these events, we aim to foster a collaborative environment where insights can be shared, mutual learning can occur, and stronger relationships can be built to drive our collective success forward.
