How does this new company fit into the galaxy of activities carried out by dMTV?

Over the years we have created the international legal and tax consultancy firm dMTV Global, and dMTV Europe with offices in Singapore and Malta respectively and offices in Vietnam, Iran and Dubai.

Our clients are typically large and small manufacturing companies, start-ups, investment funds, management companies, real estate companies, entrepreneurs and individuals. "
Through what steps did you come to gain such extensive experience in corporate and international law?
«After graduating from the University of Milan, I attended various refresher courses both in international law and in commercial law. I then did my legal practice, but before joining the Milan Bar, I worked in the legal office of a multinational. Thanks to this experience, I have gained familiarity with business dynamics and international and commercial law, in the contractual field and in the protection of intellectual property. All this has favored my specialization in legal issues, relating to international contracts, franchising, trademark license agreements, "vertical" agreements, international sales, analysis of opportunities and risks in the countries in which the firm operates ».
In this regard dMTV has a long-standing presence in Vietnam and she is even a licensed foreign lawyer in Hanoi. What are the reasons for choosing this country?
"Over the years we have promptly realized, within the firm, the changing role of the lawyer and, taking into account the changes that have affected world trade, we were among the first to deal with international law and in particular to face the markets of Asia-Pacific since 2002. Specifically, it was my son who, thanks to his studies and direct work experience, was able to verify the extraordinary opportunities offered by that country where we opened our offices already in 2007. The Vietnam, unlike China, is a small country with a relatively small population, with good infrastructures, an advanced level of literacy and professional training and above all with an excellent tradition of craftsmanship. All this makes it an ideal ground for the realization of international development projects in various sectors and in fact there are numerous entrepreneurs, Italian and not only, who have chosen to set up their own businesses, requiring all the services and solutions useful for the success of the company. their initiative ".
We come to the next opening in Switzerland. What will the contents of your proposal be?
«The choice to be present in Lugano stems from an evaluation of the great professional opportunities that a territory historically suited to internationalization such as Ticino can offer. But it also corresponds to a choice of a personal and family nature towards an environmental context that can be defined on a human scale, with all the advantages it offers in terms of tranquility, safety, well-being and quality of life. The Ticino economic and financial community is particularly favorable to the development of projects aimed at defining strategies and generating value through the integration of business and technology in order to make the most of available resources through technological evolution and improvement of processes and working methods. This also means paying particular attention, assistance and advice, towards blockchain, e-commerce, supply chain, platforms that use cryptocurrencies for payments, artificial intelligence and other innovative solutions destined to assume a predominant role in relations in a short time. between companies, financial intermediaries, suppliers and consumers. Thus was born the project that we have called Biz Rebout (business relaunch), which sees undisputed experts in the technology and management sector, especially in the above-mentioned topics, and which will be the subject of an upcoming presentation ».
Did the recent crisis linked to the pandemic cause problems with the development of your project?
«If on the one hand it may have caused some delay in the preparation and launch phase, on the other hand it has fully confirmed its validity. A structured response to the crisis can in fact transform a criticality into an opportunity for strategic growth and evolution. Today companies are faced with a lower financial availability of the entrepreneur, customers and suppliers. Furthermore, there is a sudden change in the reference markets, in the working methods, in the technologies available. At this juncture, it is therefore essential to structure the response according to the two guidelines "Respond" and "Improve": in doing so, on the one hand, the company is supported in managing the contingent situation in the best possible way and on the other every initiative is seen as an opportunity. of a possible organizational and technological improvement ".
