BonelliErede’s partnership expands. At the partners’ meeting on Saturday, 29 November, the appointment of Francesca Peruzzi, Riccardo Denaro and Pietro Ferretti as partners was approved.

Francesca Peruzzi began her career at BonelliErede’s Milan headquarters in 2013. She specialises in corporate law, particularly extraordinary transactions, equity capital markets and corporate governance. In 2017, she won the first edition of the scholarship programme in memory of Franco Bonelli, which enabled her to earn an LLM at Columbia University in New York.

Riccardo Denaro also joined BonelliErede in 2013, first based at the Milan headquarters and since 2018 at the Dubai office. He specialises in Italian corporate law, with a focus on extraordinary transactions and M&A, corporate advisory and commercial contracts across the Gulf region. His experience spans the luxury, private equity, real estate and construction sectors.

Pietro Ferretti joined BonelliErede in 2019, the year of the merger with Lombardi e Associati, which he joined in 2011. He is based in Milan and specialises in corporate, commercial and civil litigation, particularly liability actions, commercial contracts, tort liability, inheritance matters and M&A. He also provides out-of-court assistance on contracts and corporate transactions.

Eliana Catalano, Managing Partner of BonelliErede, commented: “We are delighted to share this significant milestone in the careers of Francesca, Riccardo and Pietro. Over the years, they have dedicated themselves to building solid foundations for many of our projects and supporting clients with skill and dedication. And in doing so they have helped strengthen two of our flagship practices – corporate law and litigation – and consolidate our international presence”.

Massimiliano Danusso, Chairman of BonelliErede, added: “Nurturing and investing in young talent is one of our priorities. Francesca, Riccardo and Pietro embody the development model we believe in, built on expertise and rigour, professionalism developed over time, and a shared identity. These are the values that inspire our people every day and that we continue to pursue, propelling a new generation of professionals towards the future of the firm”.
