2021
Marco Rota Candiani is very commercially minded. He has excellent knowledge of the real estate market in Milan and is always creatively looking to find a way to close the deal and to mitigate positions without forgetting the need to protect his client’s needs. His positive attitude was especially helpful when the parties got stuck in the negotiations due to apparent deal-breaker matters.
