"Further to a breakdown in the consolidate accounts of the offices of Studio Legale Sutti (http://www.sutti.com) in Italy and in the Balkans for the fiscal year 2009, the
figures have revealed that a percentage above 25% of SLS total turnover was generated by matters pertaining to IP, IP litigation, and technology.
Even more eloquent is the fact that new domestic clients instructing SLS in Italy for the first time appear to do it in almost 40% of the cases for IP-related corporate deals or disputes, making such area even more strategic for SLS practice overall.
In view of its desire to play to this growing strength, the SLS's IP Dept., led by Dr. Simona Cazzaniga, has embarked in an aggressive lateral hire campaign, which is most unusual in the firm's history as well as in the current economic predicament, and welcomed in its Milan headquarters Pierodavide Leardi from Vanzetti & Associati, Gabriella D'Amico from Studio Franceschelli, Francesca Andreolini from Sciumé e Associati and Melis Bostancioglu, a Turkish lawyer, from Studio Rapisardi.
SLS counts amongst its clients Oracle-Sun Microsystems, Ford, CNN-Warner-AOL, Hermès, Media-Saturn, Sanofi-Aventis, Moreschi Calzature, BTicino, Gucci".
