Martino is a Counsel in the Corporate & Finance practice group, specialising in strategic corporate transactions with a focus on mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and venture capital. He advises a broad range of domestic and international clients – including private and public companies, financial institutions, and investment funds – on strategic acquisitions and divestitures, complex reorganisations, joint ventures, and minority investments. His experience spans multi‑jurisdictional mandates and diverse industries, including industrials, insurance (bancassurance), sports, technology, and consumer and retail, and frequently involves the structuring and negotiation of sophisticated arrangements such as share purchase and shareholders’ agreements, option agreements, and reinvestment frameworks.
Martino is recognised for his ability to navigate clients through the complexities of the Italian legal and regulatory system, coordinating cross‑practice and cross‑border teams to deliver business‑driven outcomes. Acting as primary client contact, he leads transactions from competitive processes through signing, closing, and post‑closing integration - ensuring efficient execution, strategic alignment, and successful results in every mandate.
Before joining Hogan Lovells in 2021, Martino worked at a major Italian law firm, where he was part of the M&A and Private Equity practice group.
