Giorgio Galli

Lisbon

Summary

Double-qualified lawyer (PT/ITA), I have been working for 7 years at a multipractice law firm headquartered in Lisbon. Associate in the Corporate & Finance Department, I am a VC and M&A lawyer, and head of the Italian Desk. I work on a daily basis alongside local and international companies, proving a full life cycle advice. I am a doer, a pro-active, dynamic, and challenge-driven professional, enthusiastic about stepping out of my comfort zone. Attracted by multicultural and multidisciplinary environment, I strongly believe in teamwork. Ready to embrace new challenges and work abroad.
