“Eriprando brings to Milan, and Europe overall, a unique focus on fund formation and investment management across a wide variety of industries. This is important to our strategy in the region and the practices we are building there, and in the United States, Asia, and Middle East. Eriprando possesses a crucial combination of top-tier reputation, experience, talent, and character, which allows him to fit well within Greenberg Traurig’s collaborative culture,” Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum said. “The arrival of Eriprando and his team strengthens our position as leading legal advisors on the Italian and European markets, thanks to the close synergy with the banking and finance, real estate, restructuring and insolvency, financial litigation, and M&A practices.”
“Greenberg Traurig is consistently recognized as a leading advisor for complex transactions and projects worldwide. Adding Eriprando is a strategic move to further grow these capabilities and support the expansion of our sizeable team in Milan and across Europe, increasingly adding value for clients who demand a commitment to excellence and top-tier experience across markets and sectors,” Greenberg Traurig Milan Co-Managing Shareholder Luigi Santa Maria said.
Guerritore is member of the Tax and Legal Committee of the Italian Private Equity, Venture Capital and Private Debt (AIFI) Association as well as of the legal committee of Assoimmobiliare. He has been recognized by several publications, including Chambers Europe Guide as Band 2 in Private Equity: Fund Formation; and The Legal 500 EMEA as a Tier 1 leading individual in the fund formation and investment management industry. He obtained his law degree from the Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza.”

Furthermore, I am certain that my clients will benefit from the worldwide expertise available across this platform and that my experience will be of value to existing firm relationships in a growing global marketplace. I look forward to collaborating with my new colleagues in Milan and throughout Europe,” Guerritore said.
