He became partner in 1989, then managing partner in 1992, and promoted the establishment of the firm's offices in London, Tokyo and Sofia. In 2003, he was appointed as Professor of Strategy and Comparative Procedural Law at the master's couse in international litigation organised by the University of Padua, the second-oldest law school in the world.

Recommended by the 'Dispute Resolution Contact Handbook' (1999 and 2000) and by the prestigious ABA 'Guide to Foreign Law Firms 2000', Mr Sutti and his dispute resolution team are consistently mentioned in the latest issues of the PLC Which Lawyer Yearbook (formerly 'Global Counsel 3000'), 'The Legal 500 EMEA', and 'IFLR 1000', and are the official italian contributors to the 'International Law Office Arbitration Newsletter'. A number of the high-profile matters dealt with by Stefano Sutti have obtained vast media coverage and have involved the hi-tech sector. Mr. Sutti is a member of AIJA, UAE, IBA and IPBA and is the author of numerous articles and essays. He plays an active role in Studio Legale Sutti's continuing education programs aimed at developing the litigation and advocacy skills of its members.
