Portolano Cavallo, leading Italian full-service law firm specializing in the Digital-Media-Tech and Life Sciences-Healthcare, is delighted to announce that Daniela Amhof will join the Firm as counsel. Daniela will lead the firm’s German Desk, which provides legal assistance to clients from the DACH countries and Alto Adige.

Before joining Portolano Cavallo, Daniela spent 12 years in the Litigation and Arbitration department of Gianni & Origoni. Before that she worked for a boutique law firm with German clients.
“We are proud to welcome Daniela Amhof to the team,” said Micael Montinari, lead of the Portolano Cavallo Dispute Resolutions Practice Group. “We are always looking for talented professionals who can contribute to the growth and development of our business.

This project is in line with the firm’s international ambitions.”
“I relish the opportunity to join Portolano Cavallo, which is always innovative and enjoying a period of growth,” said Daniela Amhof. “I am grateful for the trust the firm has placed in me in asking me to lead the new German Desk.
