Ally Law Unveils New Leadership Team for 2025-2026

Ally Law, a leading global network of legal firms, has just announced the composition of its Executive Board for the upcoming 2025-2026 period. With a vibrant membership spanning 75 firms across 60 countries, this new leadership team is indicating an exciting future for the organization.

A New Era with Paola Sangiovanni

At the helm of this new team is Paola Sangiovanni, who takes on the role of President. Based in Milan, Italy, she is a partner at GITTI AND PARTNERS and is well-regarded for her vast experience in drafting and negotiating complex international contracts. Moreover, Sangiovanni brings with her a wealth of knowledge in compliance and anti-corruption laws that cover various sectors, including healthcare and renewable energy. Her previous roles as an Ally Law officer and board member paint a picture of a leader well-prepared to guide the network into a promising future.

In her acceptance speech, Sangiovanni expressed her enthusiasm for her new role, emphasizing the importance of legal collaboration across borders. "The practice of law transcends borders, serving as a bridge for collaboration and mutual understanding among nations," she noted. This sentiment captures the essence of Ally Law’s mission, which champions international cooperation amongst its members.

A Team of Diverse Talents

Joining Sangiovanni are several experienced leaders, including the newly appointed First Vice President Juan Pablo Cardinal, who specializes in telecoms and media and has been active in promoting Ally Law's Latinx initiative. The role of Secretary will be filled by Linky Trott from Edwin Coe in London, who has years of experience serving on the Ally Law board.

Moreover, James Turner continues his role as the Treasurer, further solidifying a seasoned leadership that ensures fiscal responsibility and strategic direction. The board will also have fresh perspectives with the addition of new directors Amanda Fugazy, Takashi Hirano, and David Phelan, each bringing unique expertise in various legal aspects such as employment law, corporate law, and intellectual property respectively.

Returning Board Members

The returning members of the board include established names like Shane Coblin, who focuses on construction and commercial disputes, and Denise Junqueira, a specialist in international trade and competition law. Their familiarity with Ally Law’s vision and values will provide crucial continuity during this transition period. Also, Harvey Koning and Judith Marsh will provide insights from their respective backgrounds in corporate governance and consumer retail law, while Gina Tresidder rounds out this accomplished team with her expertise in data protection and IT law.

Ally Law's Global Impact

Ally Law stands out in the legal landscape as it was recently recognized as a Band One Leading Law Firm Network in the Chambers and Partners 2025 Global Directory. The network emphasizes value and efficiency in the legal services it provides to major corporations. With over 100 business centers worldwide, the newly formed board is strategically positioned to enhance the network’s global outreach and effectiveness.

As more organizations operate across borders, the need for a strong, cohesive legal network becomes critical. Ally Law’s new leadership team is dedicated to fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among international firms. This commitment will help shape not only the future of Ally Law but also the legal landscape around the world.
