Since becoming one of the first international insurance law firms to establish a permanent presence in Italy earlier this year with offices in Milan and Rome, DACB's Italian team has gone from strength to strength. This latest accolade recognises the team's commitment to excellence, its dedication to its clients, and its exceptional legal expertise.
In addition to the firm's award win last night, DACB's lead partner in Italy, Anthony Perotto, was also shortlisted in the Insurance Lawyer of the Year category. This nomination follows swiftly on from Anthony's win at the Legalcommunity Corporate Awards in June where he was named Insurance Lawyer of the Year.
Anthony said, "I am immensely proud of everything our team has achieved over the last year. We strive to be the international law firm of choice for the global insurance industry and we are very proud to be delivering on that commitment in Italy and beyond. We are grateful for the support of our clients and look forward to continuing to meet their local and international needs."
DAC Beachcroft opened in Italy in February 2023. The team, including partners Anthony Perotto, Guido Foglia and Michele Zucca, has extensive experience in advising and assisting insurers on complex coverage and liability litigation and arbitration, coverage advice, and claims handling. They also regularly assist insurance industry players on a broad range of non-contentious matters, including advisory and regulatory work, compliance, development and creation of policy wordings, distribution and intermediation, corporate and transactional matters.
