Giacomo brings two decades of legal experience in structuring and executing cross-border transactions, with specific expertise in restructuring, insolvency and the acquisition of litigious and distressed claims gained while working for leading Italian law firms Grimaldi SL LLP, BonelliErede, and most recently, Advant – NCTM where he was an Equity Partner, as well as direct experience with an investor in insolvency actions and claims against distressed debtors.

Omni Bridgeway is now even better positioned to provide on-the-ground resources and expertise for corporations, law firms and claimants across Europe. Giacomo brings a stellar track record and is an excellent addition to the Omni Bridgeway team.”

Italy’s legal market, with its high level of complexity and sophistication, represents a compelling market for legal finance and risk management. With operations based in Milan, Omni Bridgeway is perfectly situated to deliver innovative litigation financing and recovery solutions for a broad range of business and legal matters, including the most complex local and cross-border situations. With its truly diversified, global team, Omni Bridgeway adds value for stakeholders in a broad range of situations with underlying legal complexity (in both solvent and insolvent scenarios). I look forward to playing an instrumental role delivering capital and expertise in such circumstances.”
