Luigi Spitaleri

I am an associate in our Finance & Financial Regulation department. I deal mainly with banking and financial regulation, advising both on extrajudicial and judicial matters.

I provide ongoing assistance to banks, asset management companies, financial advisory firms, payment institutions and other regulated entities, both domestic and international, on supervisory and operational compliance matters, corporate governance rules, codes of conduct and prudential regulations, extraordinary transactions involving regulatory provisions, outsourcing, and court proceedings.

I have experience in the field of decentralised finance (DeFi) regulation and distributed ledger technologies (DLT).

I am particularly interested in the use of emerging technologies and the regulatory challenges that these new technologies pose on the organisational structures, corporate governance, risk management and internal control systems of financial intermediaries.

Before joining Bird & Bird in 2023, I worked in leading Italian law firms gaining experience in financial services regulation.
