Maria continues to grow its market strength in Milan with the addition of Eriprando
Guerritore, a leader in Italy's
fund formation and investment management sector. He joins as
shareholder in the Corporate Practice.
Guerritore, who has more than 20 years' experience in counseling
alternative investment funds, initiators, sponsors, and managers in
the structuring and launch of complex domestic or international

His clients in the alternative investments sector include fund
managers, funds of funds, family offices, banks, insurance
companies, and financial institutions on high-profile matters in
Italy and across Europe.
"Eriprando brings to Milan, and
Europe overall, a unique focus on
fund formation and investment management across a wide variety of
industries. This is important to our strategy in the region and the
practices we are building there, and in the United States, Asia, and Middle
East. Eriprando possesses a crucial combination of top-tier
reputation, experience, talent, and character, which allows him to
fit well within Greenberg Traurig's collaborative culture,"
Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum said. "The arrival of
Eriprando and his team strengthens our position as leading legal
advisors on the Italian and European markets, thanks to the close
synergy with the banking and finance, real estate, restructuring
and insolvency, financial litigation, and M&A practices."
"Greenberg Traurig is consistently recognized as a leading
advisor for complex transactions and projects worldwide. Adding
Eriprando is a strategic move to further grow these capabilities
and support the expansion of our sizeable team in Milan and across Europe, increasingly adding value for clients
who demand a commitment to excellence and top-tier experience
across markets and sectors," Greenberg Traurig Milan Co-Managing
Shareholder Luigi Santa Maria said.

He has been recognized by several publications, including Chambers
Europe Guide as Band 2 in Private Equity: Fund Formation; and The
Legal 500 EMEA as a Tier 1 leading individual in the fund formation
and investment management industry. He obtained his law degree from
the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza."
"Choosing Greenberg Traurig was a logical next step in my
career. This is a dynamic, highly respected global law firm whose
culture and core values are closely aligned with mine. Furthermore,
I am certain that my clients will benefit from the worldwide
expertise available across this platform and that my experience
will be of value to existing firm relationships in a growing global
marketplace. I look forward to collaborating with my new colleagues
in Milan and throughout
Europe," Guerritore said.

insurance regulatory law. He assists domestic and non-domestic
supervised entities in relation to their business in Italy as well as with reference to the
distribution of their products. Further, he counsels on licensing
