Legalcommunity Week day 3 starts with a sprint: Lawyers hit the streets for ‘Run the Law’
Day three of Legalcommunity Week 2025 kicked off not with a panel, but with sneakers and stride as participants laced up for Run the Law, the Week’s morning event’s tradition. Against the stunning backdrop of Milan’s streets, legal professionals traded briefcases for running gear in a spirited start to the day. After the finish line and a quick refresh, they headed to the Principe di Savoia, where another full agenda of conferences and conversations awaited.
Glória Paiva, journalist at Iberian Lawyer, moderated the day’s inaugural roundtable: “Investments funds entering the legal sector”. The speaker’s lineup features, Umberto Baldi (Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel, Snam), Claudio Berretti (General Manager and Executive Director, TIP – Tamburi Investment Partners), Nicola Bordignon (Managing Partner, ITAGO), and Stefania Radoccia (Managing Partner, BIP Law and Tax).
Simultaneously, a two-panel conference was moderated by Valentina Magri, journalist at Financecommunity.it and MAG. The first panel, European defense industry: new tools and mechanism, features speakers Orlando Barucci (Managing Partner, Vitale & Co), Paolo Graziano (Founder & CEO, Magnaghi Aerospace Group), Luca Principi (CEO, Sidereus), Bruno Spagnolini (President, MECAER Aviation Group, with long lasting experience in helicopters market) as well as Costantin Terzago (Managing Director, Mutares).

Mid-morning, and it’s already time for the fifth roundtable of the day: stress to success: manage mental health balance and prevent burnout in the legal career. Letizia Ceriani, Journalist at Legalcommunity.it and MAG, moderates speakers Lodovico Bianchi Di Giulio (Group General Counsel, BIP Group), Antonia Cosenz (Head of Legal and Regulatory Affairs Banco Bpm), Luís Graça Rodrigues (Head of Legal Department, Europe | Lusophone Africa | Philippines, Minsait), Angelica Orlando (General Counsel, Sky Italia) and Nicola Romano (Co-Managing Partner, QLT).
