Alessandro Barzaghi, IBA European Regional Forum (ERF) Council Member for Italy

What does being European mean to you?

Being European means embracing a shared legal culture that values cooperation, the rule of law and respect for diversity. As a lawyer, I appreciate how European integration fosters cross-border collaboration, enabling professionals to work together seamlessly across different jurisdictions.

What would you like to accomplish in the ERF in 2025?

In 2025, I aim to deepen my engagement within the ERF by fostering stronger connections with colleagues from various countries and encouraging new members to join the IBA, including corporate counsels. Leveraging my experience in corporate, M&A and real estate law, my goal is to promote knowledge sharing and develop practical solutions that benefit our diverse legal communities.​

Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?

Running is a personal passion of mine. It offers balance to my professional life, giving me clarity and resilience. Additionally, I am also actively involved in volunteer work, supporting initiatives aimed at assisting disadvantaged youth through sports and cultural programmes.
