Giovanni Minuto relocates to Dubai to bolster BonelliErede’s arbitration practice
BonelliErede announced that Giovanni Minuto, a partner in the firm’s international arbitration practice, has relocated from the Milan office to the Dubai office.
This move further strengthens the firm’s offering in one of the world’s leading centres for international business and arbitration. It also reflects the firm’s commitment to the Middle East and its strategy of providing clients seamless support across the region through an integrated team combining strong local knowledge with international experience.
Minuto joined BonelliErede in 2007 and was made partner in 2023. He focuses on international arbitration and litigation, with particular experience in construction disputes, commercial litigation and private international law.
At his new base in the Dubai International Financial Centre, Minuto will work closely with the local team and colleagues across the firm’s international arbitration practice, assisting clients involved in complex international arbitration matters and strengthening relationships with arbitral institutions, businesses and international law firms throughout the Gulf region.
Marco De Leo, managing partner of BonelliErede Middle East LLP, commented, “The Middle East continues to offer significant opportunities for businesses and investors across multiple sectors. Giovanni’s arrival further enhances our ability to support clients in complex international arbitration matters, while reinforcing the integration between our Dubai office and the firm’s broader international platform.”
Giovanni Minuto added, “I am delighted to join the Dubai office and work alongside the local team. I look forward to supporting clients in complex cross-border disputes and arbitration, while contributing to the development of our practice in the region.”
BonelliErede’s Dubai office serves as a strategic platform for the firm’s activities across the Middle East. Since opening in 2017, the office has steadily expanded its team and capabilities, providing legal and tax assistance throughout the GCC and assisting clients in some of the area’s most significant markets.
