Practice area
AI has entered administrative procedures, public tenders and decisions affecting people’s rights. The firm combines academic research on the subject with the practice of public law: the AI Act, Law no. 132/2025 and protection against digital power.

Qualification of systems and risk classification (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), obligations of providers and deployers, governance and documentation; the Italian implementation under Law No 132/2025, regulated sectors and implementing decrees. From the initial audit to the organisational model, with preventive compliance opinions and training for administrative bodies and offices.
Assistance to contracting authorities and economic operators in tenders for the acquisition of artificial intelligence systems: technical requirements, contractual clauses, data ownership, checks during performance. The public contract as an instrument of AI regulation.
Challenges to automated or algorithm-assisted administrative decisions: transparency and knowability of the algorithm, the human reserve, access to documents and to the logic of the system, competitions and rankings marked by software, administrative review. From the TAR up to the superior courts.
Drafting and review of impact assessments (FRIA and DPIA) for public and private projects deploying AI systems, and advice to public administrations on adopting AI in administrative procedures, in compliance with Law No 241/1990 and the European framework.
The firm’s research
The firm’s advisory work rests on ongoing academic research, developed in a cycle of essays on the constitutional law of artificial intelligence.
Towards a “substantive algorithmic constitutionalism” in the era of artificial intelligence, in AmbienteDiritto.it (class A ranked journal), no. 3/2025, pp. 193-227. The main essay criticises the AI Act’s risk-based approach, which “de-constitutionalises” fundamental rights, and proposes two safeguards: a fundamental right to human interaction, and constitutional principles integrated by design.
Magnifica humanitas and the constitutionalism of relational human dignity, in E. Lanza (ed.), Responsabilità e tecnologie, Pisa, Pacini, 2026. In the light of Leo XIV’s encyclical, algorithmic constitutionalism is enriched by the “reserve of relational humanity”, with applications available under existing legislation: from the public contract as a regulator of AI to algorithmic disarmament.
Oltre il rischio e la sorveglianza dell'AI Act: per un «costituzionalismo algoritmico sostanziale». Sviluppi a un anno dalla VI Conferenza ICON·S (2025-2026): la dignità relazionale umana e la via del procedimento (Beyond the AI Act's risk and oversight), in Bilancio Comunità Persona (Italian class A journal), Quaderno 3/2026, forthcoming. The thesis tested against implementation: the three weaknesses of the AI Act, Law No 132/2025 in force, the first judicial confirmations of the human reserve, and the procedural route, neither by design alone nor by judge alone.
The duty of human administrative review of algorithmic decisions, between constitutional obligation through consistent interpretation and digital power (unpublished). The essay is the operational outcome: for discretionary decisions taken with high-risk systems, it advocates a mandatory and necessarily human administrative review, already under existing legislation.
Why the firm
Whoever faces an algorithmic decision, a company excluded from a tender run by an automated system, a candidate assessed by an algorithm, or an administration about to adopt one, finds in the firm a counterpart who writes, teaches and practises this field. The theses developed in the research, from substantive algorithmic constitutionalism to the duty of human administrative review, are defensive tools usable in today’s proceedings and disputes, not merely proposals for tomorrow’s legislator.
