Our law firm welcomes Luca Maffia as a new partner in our Milan office.
Global Law Firm White & Case Expands Financial Institutions Practice with Luca Maffia
White & Case LLP, a leading global law firm, has strengthened its Global Debt Finance Practice and Global Financial Institutions Industry Group with the addition of Luca Maffia as a partner in Milan. Maffia brings over a decade of experience in the real estate sector, advising both lenders and borrowers on a wide range of banking and financing transactions, with a focus on leveraged and acquisition finance.
Oliver Brettle, White & Case's Partner and Vice Chair, stated that the addition of Luca Maffia supports the firm's strategy to build globally and be positioned to support clients on their most important matters. Brettle also oversees the firm's Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity, Employment, Compensation & Benefits, Intellectual Property, Financial Institutions, and Private Capital service areas.
White & Case LLP's service areas extend beyond finance, encompassing Life Sciences and Healthcare, Technology, and various legal specialties such as Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity, Employment, Compensation & Benefits, Intellectual Property, and Private Capital. Leonardo Graffi, a contact in the Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Capital, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Reviews, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Technology, and Financial Institutions service areas at White & Case LLP, will work alongside Maffia.
The addition of Maffia to White & Case LLP is particularly significant in Italy, where the firm is a leading player in finance. This is the second lateral partner addition to White & Case's Milan office during 2025, following the arrival of private equity partner Giovanni Spedicato from Latham & Watkins. White & Case LLP has a significant presence in Italy and also operates in Western Europe.
Maffia joins White & Case from A&O Shearman, where he was counsel. Unfortunately, there is no publicly available information about the international clients Maffia advised in 2025 during his work at A&O Shearman.
The press contact for White & Case LLP is a local media contact. For more information, please reach out to the appropriate contact.
With the addition of Luca Maffia, White & Case LLP continues to demonstrate its commitment to expanding its global reach and providing top-tier legal services to its clients.
