Amedeo Zmarandoiu
Expert International Lawyer
With a strong foundation in both Italian and international law, I am well-equipped to handle the intricate legal intricacies between Italy and the United States. As a licensed attorney in Italy, I offer comprehensive legal support to American clients concerning Italian legal matters, including corporate issues, compliance, real estate, and immigration law.
My legal education was completed at the prestigious University of Bologna, where I obtained my law degree and gained a thorough understanding of Italian legal principles. Throughout my career, I have refined my abilities by working with leading law firms and multinational corporations in Italy, such as Ferrari and System Logistics, where I held the position of Corporate Legal Counsel. My experience covers a range of sectors, including corporate governance, compliance, and international contract negotiation, making me a valuable resource for businesses and individuals seeking guidance on Italian legal issues.
Currently, at Rupp Pfalzgraf in Buffalo, I focus on bridging the legal divides between European and American jurisdictions. My proficiency in Italian, English, and Spanish, coupled with an in-depth understanding of diverse cultures, enables me to communicate effectively and advocate for my clients, ensuring top-notch service.
Whether you are an American company aiming to operate in Italy (or more generally in the EU), an expat dealing with Italian legal procedures, or an individual with personal legal needs in Italy, I am dedicated to providing customized solutions that cater to your specific needs. My objective is to simplify the complexities of the law for my clients, empowering them to pursue their goals with assurance.
