DIEGO CEFARO

Biography

I am a senior associate in our Banking & Finance and Financial Services groups, working across Rome and Milan. At Bird & Bird I provide a wide range of regulatory advice and support to banks, listed companies and financial intermediaries on issues in banking and financial law. Before joining in 2013, I worked for two other leading international law firms. I advise our clients on a wide range of regulatory issues relating to payment services, consumer credit, transparency regulations, corporate governance and investment services, as well as on anti-money laundering legislation. I also focus on domestic and cross-border capital market transactions, debt trading, securitisation and factoring, structured and derivative products. It is worth noting that many financial institutions and other startups have fintech on their minds as this aims to compete with traditional financial methods in the delivery of financial services. We are one of the world's leading technology law firms: this, combined with our detailed understanding of traditional payment services and financial services markets, helps our clients drive leadership and transformation within the new model of global financial services. We therefore offer our clients a range of tech based solutions and tools and have worked closely with our clients to develop innovative ways to meet their needs in a quickly changing legal marketplace. My Admissions Admitted to the Italian Bar in 2012.
