In his corporate and commercial practice, Cristian advises entrepreneurs, privately held companies, and international businesses on U.S. entity formation, governance, commercial agreements, licensing, distribution, strategic partnerships, and U.S. market entry and expansion. He also counsels clients on U.S. trademark and copyright protection, registration, licensing, portfolio management, and enforcement, coordinating with foreign counsel where matters span multiple jurisdictions.
Before establishing his practice, Cristian developed his experience in both boutique and large international law firm environments in Milan, Arezzo, Miami, New York, and London. This background combines the discipline, rigor, and cross-border perspective of international practice with direct, focused client service.
