Meet Andrea

I joined Lawrence Stephens in 2026 as a Senior Associate, and am a corporate M&A solicitor with significant experience advising on private mergers and acquisitions, as well as venture capital and private equity transactions.

Alongside transactional work, I provide advice on a broad range of corporate matters, including shareholders agreements, share option schemes, joint ventures, growth share arrangements, and commercial agreements.

Dual-qualified in the UK and Italy, I have regularly assisted clients on cross-border transactions, with particular expertise in investments between the UK and Italy but also other foreign jurisdictions.

Over the years, I have helped clients across a diverse range of sectors, including food & beverage, fashion, entertainment, manufacturing, financial advisory, and technology.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, cooking and playing tennis.
