Amedeo Zmarandoiu
Expert International Lawyer
With a robust background in Italian and international law, I bring a wealth of expertise in navigating the complex legal landscapes between Italy and the United States. As a licensed attorney in Italy, I am uniquely positioned to assist American clients with all legal matters pertaining to Italy, from corporate and compliance issues to real estate and immigration law.
My legal journey began at the prestigious University of Bologna, where I earned my law degree and developed a deep understanding of Italian legal principles. Over the years, I honed my skills working with top-tier law firms and multinational corporations in Italy, including Ferrari and System Logistics (Krones Group), where I served as Corporate Legal Counsel. My experience spans various sectors, including corporate governance, compliance, and international contract negotiation, making me a valuable asset for businesses and individuals seeking expert legal guidance on Italian matters.
At Rupp Pfalzgraf in Buffalo, I have continued to expand my practice, focusing on bridging the gap between Italian and American legal systems. My fluency in both languages and cultures allows me to effectively communicate and advocate for my clients, ensuring they receive the highest level of service.
Whether you're an American company looking to do business in Italy, an expat navigating Italian legal processes, or someone with personal legal needs in Italy, I am here to provide tailored solutions that meet your specific requirements. My goal is to make the complexities of Italian law accessible and manageable for my clients, helping them achieve their objectives with confidence.
