In Italy OC has also recruited Real Estate partner, Simone Monesi, from Latham & Watkins’ Milan office. Simone brings a wealth of corporate experience to OC Italy’s Real Estate team, which is experiencing strong growth.
Tomás Dágá, Chair of Osborne Clarke’s International Council, said:
“Making Partner is no easy task and all of our recently promoted lawyers demonstrate exactly the sort of skill, expertise and commercial focus that our clients demand. It’s good to see five such talented lawyers joining and strengthening our European organisation.”
Ricardo Roversi, Osborne Clarke’s Italian Managing Partner commented on the arrival of Simone Monesi:
“Simone has a fantastic reputation as a leading Italian real Estate Lawyer and brings a wealth of experience to our team. His arrival further strengthens our Real Estate team, which is increasingly attracting high quality, high value work such as advising on the recent €100m acquisition of a major Milan office block.”
Simon Beswick, Chief Executive of Osborne Clarke, said:
“This partnership round demonstrates our commitment to developing and strengthening our international operations. Reaching 150 Partners is a real milestone that demonstrates our level of ambition in the market. This year will be an exciting one for OCI as we expect office openings in Paris and Brussels, which will give our clients access to quality advice in two further key locations.”
