Based in Genoa and Milan, Dardani Studio Legale is an international boutique law firm that gathers a team of advocates specialized in maritime, commercial and international trade law, dealing with a broad range of corporate, ship finance and competition matters. The origins and impetus of the firm are drawn from the experience of Maurizio Dardani who has over forty years of experience in the legal profession and is recognized as a specialist, in Italy and at an international level, in maritime and commercial law, transport and international trade. Over time, the law firm has been enriched by the contribution of professional experience gained in different sectors by its lawyers who combine their own expertise and studies in various fields of research with the specific professional qualifications in English law of some members of the practice who are UK barristers and solicitors. The firm assists its clients, both in contentious and transactional matters, representing at national and international level all the interests of the world of shipping, energy, off-shore and commercial trade. The lawyers of the firm regularly appear as advocates in Court or arbitration and, thanks to the expertise of its English law qualified members and to close relations with London Chambers of Barristers, are able to provide assistance in cases devolved to the judicial authorities of the United Kingdom and in arbitrations that are heard in London, as well as in international disputes in general. The firm’s transaction team, strongly developed in recent years, assists its clients in a wide variety of non-contentious matters: on complex corporate and financial transactions, including ship sale and purchase, leases, newbuildings, as well as negotiating and drafting charterparties, pool or joint venture agreements, advising on financial matters, restructuring, competition and corporate law.
