Matteo Agostinelli has developed extensive expertise in advising both domestic and international clients across judicial and extrajudicial matters, with a specialized focus on commercial litigation. He regularly assists a broad spectrum of corporate entities—ranging from listed companies to mid-market enterprises—in complex disputes arising from M&A and Private Equity transactions, breaches of shareholders' agreements, and corporate governance issues, including proceedings under Article 2409 of the Italian Civil Code and challenges to board and shareholder resolutions.
His practice is distinguished by a strong specialization in private antitrust enforcement and damages claims, where he manages litigation of high technical complexity. Matteo has represented clients before all levels of the judiciary, including superior courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union, as well as in domestic and international arbitration proceedings, including those under the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) rules.
In addition to his litigation work—which includes the defense of leading financial institutions—Matteo devotes a significant portion of his practice to corporate contracting and legal advisory services regarding contractual solutions for wealth management and protection. He frequently handles pre-litigation phases and the negotiation of complex settlement agreements, leveraging a deep proficiency in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refined during his prior tenure at the Bank of Italy. This background enables him to navigate legal challenges with a pragmatic approach, delivering concrete solutions strictly aligned with his clients' business objectives.
