Objective: To obtain a position offering immediate challenge, expansion of

knowledge, and career opportunity in a secure and progressive

environment with the chance to utilize my experience.

Experience:

2008-present:

Italy)

I am heading the Legal service of the Healthcare Agency n. 20 of

Verona, which has 2,600 employees and a budget of 900 million euros.

managing both the litigation area and the internal advising one.

Topics vary from administrative law to civil law, corporate, criminal,

EU law (due to the enforcement of grant agreements between the

International Relation Department of the Agency Ulss n. 20 and EU

Directorates-general and Services) and contracts.

2008-present:

Member of the Ethical Committee for the Clinical Testing of the Province of

Verona (Verona, Italy)

I have been appointed as a member of the Ethical Committee for the

Clinical Testing of the province of Verona as expert of insurance law

and philosophy of law. The Committee is in charge with the evaluation

and assessment of clinical testing on human beings dealing with the

need to consider carefully the ethical implications of research

protocols and the conduct of research. All proposals to conduct

research involving human subjects within the scope of the Province of

Verona must be submitted for review of their scientific merit and

ethical acceptability to the ethical review committee. The review

committees must be independent of the research team, and any direct

financial or other material benefit they may derive from the research

should not be contingent on the outcome of their review.

1998-present

Attorney at Law (Padua, Italy),

During the internship stage, I provided assistance in all aspects of

trial preparation to the attorneys of the firm. I drew up motions,

responses, client advice letters, and memoranda. I also conducted

extensive legal research and response to discovery. I filed responses,

motions, and briefs at the courthouses; attended settlement

negotiations and observed trial. I proofread attorney briefs and

motions.

After passing the bar test, I started providing legal advice and

drawing deeds for corporations, public agencies (such as

municipalities, provinces, regions, local healthy authorities,

professional associations: such as Journalists Association, United

Italian Bar Organization) in front of the civil and administrative

courts (both Regional Administrative Court and the Council of State),

Tax Court and Constitutional Court (the last case was UIBO-United

Italian Bar Organization/Brandi/Ciravegna/Italian Gov). The

Constitutional Court upheld UIBO's reasoning and turned down the

counterpart petition: decision n. 390/2006).

The final degree dissertation concerned the analysis of the saving

clause of the Article 23 of the Italian constitution. The clause is

related to the so called imposed measures on property whose main

example is represented by taxes. The research has concerned the study

of the origins of the clause, which were found in the previous legal

system of the Kingdom of Italy; of the elements that constitute the

clause and of the acts that can rule the field of patrimonial

impositions, according to the decisions of the Constitutional Court

that has given a peculiar shape to the clause, changing its original

goal that aimed to ban the acts of the government from the scope of

the clause.
