About Fabian

After having gained extensive trial experience as a trial lawyer as a senior partner of a boutique law firm specializing in services to foreign HNWIs, since 2020 he has focused on compliance issues by obtaining both the CAMS, the international diploma in anti-money laundering (awarded by ICA in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester) and lastly the Anti-Money Laundering & CFT Diploma issued by the European School of Banking Management. With the desire to specialize in compliance and art law, he finally decided to leave the practice of advocacy preferring out-of-court law. 

As a lawyer, he has mainly dealt with civil litigation, trust disputes, estate planning for HNWI, and assistance in negotiations on the acquisition of restricted works of art. He served as CLO of a Swiss TCSP. Many of the advocated legal cases have led to judgments that are consistently published in legal manuals. 

Among his most significant experiences, on behalf of his law firm, he advocated a number of multinationals involved in unfair competition proceedings and assisted several trustees in trust disputes. With two other lawyers who are owners of two well-known law firms and an Italian chartered accountant, he co-created a professional network for the management of common clients, relying on multi-disciplinary services, active in Spain, Italy, and Luxembourg. 

He has published thousands of scientific legal essays on compliance and trust law and has been the principal speaker at numerous conferences organized by the Italian National Council Bar (Consiglio Nazionale Forense) or by the “Fondazione Forense di Monza” on the topics of private wealth management, compliance, and anti-money laundering.
