Leadership Change at Linklaters Italy: Roberto Egori to be the New Managing Partner

Roberto Egori will be the new managing partner of Linklaters in Italy. Andrea Arosio will hold his position until the end of his current term on October 31, 2024, after which he will leave the firm to embark on a new and different professional path in the field of strategic consulting, with a focus on innovation and artificial intelligence.

Starting from the beginning of November, the baton will pass to Roberto Egori, who as the Italian managing partner will join the European board of the firm (EuroCom). Roberto has already been working with all the partners and the global management to ensure a transition marked by continuity and to shape the future strategic plan of the firm in Italy. Roberto, a renowned tax specialist, joined Linklaters five years ago and is currently the partner in charge of the tax department at the firm in Italy. Under his leadership, the tax practice has grown significantly, assisting in some of the most significant and complex transactions perfected in Italy in recent years and working alongside major Italian and international clients.

“In markets that are constantly transforming, marked by an ever-evolving geopolitical context, new challenges posed by AI, and the race towards energy transition, companies find themselves increasingly having to manage a complex interplay of variables. The response to this complexity – states Roberto Egori – will increasingly be given by the ability to unite and effectively coordinate the services offered into integrated solutions that can generate value for clients. The multidisciplinary profile of Linklaters Italy, the excellences in various areas of legal and tax competence, the attitude to teamwork, and the technological platforms developed by the Firm globally, will allow us to continue the path of growth and development traced."

Over the years, Linklaters has consistently grown year on year, evolving from a promising start-up in 2007 to being today one of the most important and recognised law firms in Italy and one of the few international full-service firms in our country. It has achieved this by progressively expanding its offerings, integrating high-level professionals and skills, and leveraging a network of excellence capable of supporting its clients wherever they operate.

"Reflecting on nearly twenty years spent leading Linklaters in Italy, I feel deeply proud of the milestones we have achieved – declared Andrea Arosio - The handover to Roberto not only marks the end of a path planned and shared with all the partners for more than three years, but it is also a moment that I welcome with great confidence and optimism for the future. This path has been carefully structured through constant dialogue aimed at ensuring business continuity anchored to the fundamental values of our Firm. I am proud of the history we have written together and I am sure that Roberto, with his qualities, will be able to lead Linklaters Italy towards new and further successes. His ability to enhance the talent and commitment of our exceptional team, which I have had the honour to lead, will be decisive. I leave a solid reality and a virtuous environment, certainly capable of continuing to write other extraordinary pages. I wish Roberto the best in his new role, confident that our excellence and commitment towards clients will remain the fundamental pillars on which to build the future."

"I am honoured to take on the role of Managing Partner at Linklaters Italy and grateful for the trust that has been placed in me by the partners and the network – concluded Roberto Egori - My commitment will be to continue to build on what Andrea has achieved over the years, advancing our mission of innovation and excellence in client service. It will be my task to ensure that the Firm continues to evolve strategically and consistently with the needs of the global market, always keeping the client at the centre of our activities. On these solid foundations, Linklaters in Italy is ready to design its own future full of new ambitions and challenges.”
