Our Corporate Governance Focus Team is proud to have been chosen to author the Italian chapter for the 16th edition of the ICLG – Corporate Governance guide, which gives an overview of publicly traded companies listed on regulated markets across 23 selected jurisdictions.

Our chapter explores the Italian landscape from legislative and practical standpoints and breaks down mainly: (a) the hot topics, trends and challenges in corporate governance; (b) the current perspectives on the risks of short termism and the importance of creating long-term sustainable value; and (c) the role of shareholders and management, including their responsibilities, rights, duties, limitations and risks.

Our Corporate Governance Focus Team tackles all these aspects – including how ESG expectations in Italy impact companies’ internal policies and investor relations – in the document available here.
