The origin

The origin of LX20.

LX20 was born of a simple conviction: that certain fields — digital assets, banking and financial regulation, corporate transactions and commercial law — deserve a firm built around them, rather than occasional coverage.

01The logic of the Firm

A focused boutique, in a perimeter often covered by non-specialised structures.

He founded and leads the Firm. A member of the Milan Bar and of the New York State Bar, he works at the convergence of digital-asset regulation, capital markets and financial services, advising innovative companies and supervised intermediaries on fintech and tokenisation, banking & finance, M&A and corporate law, on a domestic and cross-border basis (Italy and the United States).

The firm maintains a focused structure and, where appropriate, works with professionals offering complementary technical expertise.

The Founding

I founded LX20 in 2020 to give shape to that idea. I had worked in international firms and in banking and financial-markets boutiques, and I saw a technical space — where traditional finance meets digital infrastructure — too often handled by non-specialised structures. My own training had been built there: a PhD at Aberdeen on the regulation of nuclear technology, admission to the Milan Bar and the New York Bar, and the habit of working in Italian and English on regulated, boundary questions. LX20 is where I put all of this at our clients' service, with method and without approximation.

Our Values

In these fields, vertical expertise and an interdisciplinary approach matter more than scale. We prefer to do a few things well: technical precision, independent judgement, discretion and a direct relationship with those we advise. We do not chase numbers; we look for substance.

The Vision

The convergence of traditional finance, digital infrastructure and new ways of doing business will keep reshaping the applicable law. We intend to remain on that frontier, where the rules are still taking form — working alongside banks, asset managers, supervised intermediaries, private equity sponsors, venture capital funds and companies in the decisions that call for both legal rigour and an understanding of technology. We grow selectively, choosing professionals with a vertical, technical profile.
