Salvatore Familiari

Salvatore Familiari is a co-founding partner of Lex Blast IP & IT Attorneys, an Italian boutique specialising in intellectual property, information technology and data protection, recognised as Privacy Law Expert of the Year in Italy at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026. His practice sits at the crossroads of law and technology, an area that has become central to how modern businesses manage information, innovation and risk.

The Corporate INTL Global Awards recognise leading advisers across jurisdictions and disciplines, and an award in privacy law is particularly significant as data protection, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence converge into a single, fast-moving field. For a co-founder of a boutique built around exactly this convergence, the honour of Privacy Law Expert of the Year in Italy is an apt reflection of a career devoted to law and technology together.

A technology-focused Italian boutique

Lex Blast IP & IT Attorneys is the brand of LB Law and Consulting, a firm operating from Milan and Rome. The practice is built around the fields that matter most to digitally advanced and innovative organisations: intellectual property, data protection, information technology and security, corporate compliance, artificial intelligence compliance, cybersecurity, management systems, and assistance with international expansion. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management, and it positions itself to serve innovative enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses, large companies and regulated organisations.

As a co-founding partner, Salvatore Familiari has helped shape a practice designed for a world in which technology and regulation are tightly interwoven. Privacy and data protection form a natural core of this work, connecting closely with the firm's expertise in IT, cybersecurity and compliance. For clients, the value of such a boutique lies in its concentration: rather than treating data protection as an afterthought, the firm makes it a central discipline.

A distinctive privacy and data protection profile

The award as Privacy Law Expert of the Year in Italy reflects Familiari's depth of experience in data protection and related fields. His professional background is notably international and academic. He is admitted as an abogado, registered with the Illustrious Bar Association of Madrid (ICAM) and, as a European established lawyer, with the Bar of Milan. He has served as a scholar (cultore della materia) at the chair of Advanced Legal Informatics at the University of Milan, where he also specialised in data protection and computer forensics, and he holds the ECPC-B Data Protection Officer certificate associated with Maastricht University.

A graduate of the Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Familiari is also a trainer and an author, contributing to publications from a range of Italian legal and technical publishers. This combination of practice, teaching and writing marks him as someone deeply engaged with the theory as well as the application of privacy and technology law, an increasingly valuable profile as rules governing data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity continue to develop.

Serving innovative and regulated organisations

Privacy law in Italy operates within the framework of the European Union's data protection regime, complemented by national rules, and it interacts closely with cybersecurity obligations and emerging requirements around artificial intelligence. Advising clients in this space requires both legal knowledge and genuine technological fluency, precisely the blend that Lex Blast offers through partners such as Salvatore Familiari. His background in legal informatics and computer forensics equips him to address not only the legal text but the technical realities of how data is collected, stored, secured and processed.

For innovative businesses and regulated organisations seeking a privacy adviser who understands technology from the inside, Salvatore Familiari and Lex Blast IP & IT Attorneys provide a focused, credential-rich service. His recognition as Privacy Law Expert of the Year in Italy at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 confirms his standing as a leading practitioner in one of the defining legal fields of the digital age.
