Arbitration: International Commercial Contracts: Private International Law Marco Torsello, a dual (Italian and US) citizen, uniquely combines the competences and experience of a successful transnational litigator and those of a highly-regarded transactional lawyer. After two decades of successful practice (first with the firm Studio Galgano and then through his own practice), he joined ARBLIT in 2014, effectively contributing to the establishment of the firm’s network of international correspondents, which ensures a seamless and efficient service in cross-border litigation. In 2017 he became name partner, responsible for the department of litigation. In over twenty years of practice Marco has successfully represented top foreign and domestic clients in a variety of business-related matters and has developed specific skills and knowledge in transnational and multi-jurisdiction litigation, in ordinary, ex parte, and summary proceedings. He has often represented clients in disputes over jurisdictional issues, the law applicable, the recognition of foreign judgments and awards, attachments proceedings and other interim measures, also in support of claims brought before foreign courts or arbitral tribunals. The many substantive areas of his litigation practice include most types of commercial contracts, corporate litigation, IP-related litigation, unfair competition, antitrust litigation, procurements and construction projects including the injunctive relief for abusive calling on bank guarantees, bankruptcy-related litigation, professional and medical malpractice and product liability. Marco’s practice greatly benefits from his parallel scholarly work. He is professor of comparative law and transnational commercial law and has taught in some of the most prestigious Universities in Europe and the US. In this capacity he has often advised top foreign and domestic clients on complex, multi-jurisdiction transactions and on several cases he served as expert before foreign and domestic courts. He also often appears as counsel and sits as presiding, sole and party-appointed arbitrator in ad hoc and institutional, international and domestic arbitrations under a variety of rules and governing laws and has also worked extensively in court proceedings assisting arbitration.
