About me

I am Alessandro Leonardi, an attorney specializing in Italian Tax Law and Administrative Law, with over 20 years of experience in the field. Since 2004, I have assisted individuals, businesses, and public bodies with legal matters, both in litigation and consultancy.

As I mentioned, my primary expertise lies in Tax Law—including individual and corporate taxation, VAT, indirect taxes, and tax litigation—and Administrative Law, with a focus on public sector affairs such as urban planning, building regulations, cultural heritage protection, public procurement, and eminent domain.

Additionally, I am actively building expertise in Art Law.

In addition to my legal practice, I have been a Teacher of Law and Economics in Italian state high schools since 2015, combining my professional experience with teaching the next generation of legal and economic minds.

I also serve as legal expert for the Metropolitan City of Catania.

My approach goes beyond traditional legal work—I am passionate about soft skills such as negotiation, building partnerships, and promoting diplomacy in legal matters. I believe in the power of proactive problem-solving, especially when dealing with government entities or private clients.

My work as an Advisor in international relations and Cultural Diplomacy further enriches my perspective, particularly regarding the protection of Cultural Identity and the role of cities in global governance.

I created the strategic action plan "Triskeles" in 2014, a model for reshaping Sicily’s collective perception on the international stage. From 2014 to 2018, I also served as Senior Policy Officer for Cultural Diplomacy at Ypsilon OOO in St. Petersburg, where I developed policies fostering cultural ties between Sicily and Russia. These projects have been paused since 2020 due to the pandemic and ongoing global crises.
