Ida Palombella

Partner, Milan, Deloitte Legal Italy

Leveraging sharp legal skills and foresight in emerging technologies, Ida crafts bespoke legal solutions for businesses, particularly within the dynamic luxury fashion industry, securing valuable intellectual property and safeguarding brand reputation.

“Technology is more and more present in what we do.”

For Ida, crafting bespoke legal solutions for businesses is just as dynamic and fast-paced as the fashion industry —and just as demanding of originality. She embraces flexibility and innovation, always willing to break the mold. Because in a world where AI and digital trends are changing the rules, the most successful lawyers will be those who can blend sharp legal skills with an eye for what’s next—whether that’s the latest tech or the next big thing in luxury. She sees the legal system as playing a vital role in society, particularly in regulating emerging technologies and protecting individual rights in the face of rapid technological advancements.

Because the future of law is all about mixing business savvy with a dash of style. Ida cites the rise of AI and its impact on creativity and invention as a key area of focus. With the emergence of new types of IP assets in the metaverse and other virtual spaces that will shape the future of the field, she believes there will be an increased value placed on data and the need for stronger trade secret protection.

Ida's deep understanding of the luxury fashion industry, honed during her time as in-house counsel for a leading Italian brand, translates into tangible benefits for her clients. She has a track record of developing and implementing effective anti-counterfeiting strategies that limit financial losses and safeguard brand reputation. Her expertise helps clients navigate complex regulatory landscapes and secure valuable intellectual property rights, enabling them to confidently expand their businesses globally.

Leading a team of 20, Ida champions a culture of creativity and collaboration, fostering an environment that encourages bold ideas and fresh perspectives for clients. This approach enables her team to deliver cutting-edge legal solutions today but also to anticipate the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow's technologically advanced landscape, always with the client's success at its core.
