Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP added Bruno Cova as European co-chair of Restructuring & Insolvency and Compliance groups. Cova joins as shareholder and will be based in Milan.
Cova joins Greenberg Traurig from Willkie Farr’s Italian affiliate, Delfino & Associati, where he was a member of that firm’s executive committee. He was formerly the head of Paul Hastings’ Milan office, where he practiced for 14 years. He is a renowned lawyer with a very diverse career, having worked in the public sector as officer in the Italian Navy, chief compliance officer of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and chief counsel to Parmalat’s Administrator; as general counsel for Eni E&P and Fiat; and as a private practitioner in London and Milan. This broad experience allows Cova to provide his clients with a mix of skills that go well beyond technical legal advice. For this reason, he is often called to advise in “bet-the-company” or delicate situations, such as restructuring matters, corporate governance issues, and how to address alleged wrongdoing.
Cova focuses his practice on complex transactions such as cross-border acquisitions and restructuring of distressed companies. He also regularly advises international corporations and financial institutions in dealing with corporate governance and legal risks issues, devising internal controls or contractual mechanisms to minimize those risks, investigating legal and compliance problems, and defending clients before regulatory authorities or in the context of criminal investigations.
Greenberg Traurig, LLP has more than 2650 attorneys in 44 locations in the United States, Europe and the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia..
