Atty. Bonaventura Minutolo

He has assisted and continues to assist leading (multinational) Insurance Companies, providing advice and handling litigation in the property & casualty and life insurance lines; at the same time, this litigation management activity has extended to the specific insurance agency and insurance brokerage relationship, addressing the fundamental issues of agency and brokerage relationships, within the broader framework of relations between insurance intermediaries. The related litigation has seen confirmation – at the level of the Supreme Court – of the primacy, as a primary source, of collective bargaining rules within the hierarchy of sources. Over the last decade, this activity has been extended to Class III insurance as governed by Legislative Decree No. 209 of 7 September 2005, with particular reference to the issue concerning the insurance and/or financial nature of such contracts, which has generated substantial litigation and which, in recent times, has come to intersect with the case law of the European Court of Justice and, consequently, with the cross-border regulation of similar insurance products.
The track record spans several decades and can be found in the most highly regarded legal journals and on the online portal (de jure = Giuffrè).
In addition, within the relevant department, advisory and litigation services are provided in the area of tenancy law (commercial and residential use), which developed as a result of managing the real estate portfolio of one of the aforementioned Companies, including condominium-related issues.
