We originated in 1961 with the opening of the first Italian office of Graham & James, a US law firm based in San Francisco which sought to assist foreign businesses doing business in Italy and, in particular, Italian subsidiaries of American corporations. In 1981, Paolo Pisano, an American attorney and senior partner of Graham & James, together with Maurizio Maiano, also a member of Graham & James, established Pisano De Vito Maiano Catucci & Partners, which then evolved in Maiano Pisano & Partners with Maurizio Maiano acting as Managing Partner since 1997. Strong of our cross-border nature, we continue to assist national and international corporate clients and high net worth individuals in business transactions and in resolving disputes in both Italian and international forums.
