We are pleased to announce the participation of Dr Andrea Schioppa in the publication of the Annals of the Department of Legal Sciences of the University of Molise (26/2025) with a contribution entitled:

The Firm congratulates Mr Schioppa on this further achievement, which confirms his ongoing commitment to legal research and his contribution to the development of scientific thinking on corporate liability and commercial law.
