Italian independent Pedersoli & Associati has built on October’s hire of corporate heavyweight Enrico Zattoni by adding two senior associates from Allen & Overy (A&O) and Grimaldi & Associati as partners.

Pasquale Marini moved from the magic circle firm’s Milan arm, where he had worked under senior partner Roberto Casati before he left for Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, and has previously worked in the New York HQ of Davis Polk & Wardwell.
