Episode 31

The USLawEssentials Law & Language podcast continues its multilingual lawyer series with an interview between Daniel Edelson and Marco Giordano.

Marco is an Italian Trainee Lawyer (who will soon sit for the bar), an accomplished student, and a new associate at Baker Tilly. He has also studied English in Ireland and law in the United States.

Among other things, Marco shares his passion for corporate law, criminal law, and learning English. He discusses his insightful research on corporate criminal liability under Italian law and his comparative law studies with respect to criminal procedure in common law and civil law jurisdictions.

We also learn some of Marco’s top tips for learning legal English – – including extensive reading – – and he shares some excellent advice for new lawyers.

Enjoy this interview with a really bright student and law firm associate. And now you know to whom to turn if you have questions about law in Italy!
