Giro P. Sepe
Studio Legale Sepe is an Italian criminal law practice owned by Giro P. Sepe. The firm has been named Business Crime Law Firm of the Year in Italy at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, a recognition of its focus on the criminal issues that arise in a commercial and corporate context.
Business crime, often described as white-collar or economic crime, is among the most demanding areas of legal practice. It concerns allegations of wrongdoing connected to the conduct of business — matters such as fraud, corporate and financial offences, and the criminal liability that can attach to companies and their officers. Handling these cases well calls for a combination of criminal defence skill and a sound understanding of how companies and markets operate.
As the owner of the practice, Giro P. Sepe leads its work in this field. A boutique criminal practice of this kind typically offers clients close, senior-led attention, discretion and continuity — qualities that matter greatly in sensitive investigations and proceedings where reputation, liberty and the future of a business may all be at stake.
Work in the business crime field generally spans the full arc of a matter, from advice at the investigative stage through to representation before the courts. It frequently involves close cooperation with a client's other advisers, given the way criminal exposure can intersect with regulatory, corporate and financial questions. A practice recognised in this area is one trusted to guide individuals and companies through some of the most serious situations they can encounter.
The recognition of Studio Legale Sepe as Business Crime Law Firm of the Year in Italy at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 highlights the reputation Giro P. Sepe has built in the defence of business-related criminal matters, and the confidence placed in the practice by those who turn to it at moments of considerable difficulty.
