Ropes & Gray hires Luca Amicarelli as counsel in Milan
"Ropes & Gray has hired Luca Amicarelli as counsel in Milan to bolster its regulatory and administrative law practice across urban planning, energy, environment, life sciences, telecoms and public procurement."
Amicarelli brings consolidated experience in administrative law, urban planning, energy, environmental law and public procurement. He advises private equity funds and industrial operators on regulatory issues arising in M&A and financing transactions, with a focus on urban planning, energy, environment, life sciences and telecommunications, and represents clients in proceedings before the administrative courts. Registered with the Milan Bar Association, Amicarelli comes from the legal practice of a global professional services firm and previously led in Italy the administrative and environmental law team of a Magic Circle firm, receiving recognition from Chambers and Legal 500 for his work. In his role at Ropes & Gray he will collaborate with the firm’s European and global teams, support the integration of the Milan office into the international platform and provide regulatory advice on cross-border transactions.
The hire follows recent additions to Ropes & Gray’s Italian platform. Jacopo Figus Diaz joined the firm as counsel to launch its Italian offering in antitrust and foreign direct investment (FDI). At the beginning of 2026, Alessandro Capogrosso joined Ropes & Gray as partner; he brings experience in private equity transactions and work on listed companies and increased to four the number of Italian partners at the firm.
