ADVANT Nctm is pleased to announce Raffaella Quintana, a criminal lawyer with extensive experience in all areas of corporate criminal law and, more generally, compliance, has joined the Firm from DLA Piper, as a new Partner in the White Collar Crime department.

Her arrival represents a further step in ADVANT Nctm’s growth in the area of corporate criminal law, also following the recent hiring of Luigi Orsi and Alice Baccin, which completes the structure of the current team, integrating synergistically with the firm’s existing expertise in compliance, thanks to the work of lawyers Paolo Gallarati, Raffaele Caldarone and Luca Cavagnaro. At the same time, a department specialising in White Collar Crime, Investigations & Compliance will be established, which will be coordinated by Raffaella.

This move strengthens the firm’s ability to provide clients with a fully integrated and strategic service in connection with the full spectrum of compliance activities and support in managing criminal risks related to their activities.

With extensive professional experience in corporate criminal law, Raffaella Quintana is top-ranked in leading international directories and deals with white-collar crime issues of all varieties, with a particular focus on cases concerning crimes against the Public Administration, tax crimes, corporate and bankruptcy related criminal offences, as well as environmental and health & safety criminal matters, privileged internal investigations and quasi-criminal corporate liability pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001. 

Raffaella Quintana joins the ADVANT Nctm’s Rome office with a team that includes Francesco Lalli and Federico Lucariello (Managing Associates), Ornella Belfiori and Francesca Cannata (Senior Associates) and three Trainees (Matteo Nicolì, Paolo Vespa and Jacopo Nicolaj). 

“We are delighted to welcome Raffaella and her team, and we are confident that this collaboration will enable the firm to strengthen and expand its offering, providing clients with increasingly comprehensive and solid legal assistance focused on complex transactions”, commented Paolo Montironi, Senior Partner at ADVANT Nctm. “In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, strengthening our criminal law practice will indeed enable us to better protect our clients, increase our competitiveness and offer high-level multidisciplinary solutions.”
