NUCLIDIUM’s CHF 79 Million Funding
Round

Global law firm Dentons supported Neva on Italian law matters with a team led by partner Antonio Legrottaglie, assisted by associate Paolo Piscopo.

Neva was also supported by the in-house legal team of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, Massimiliano Canelli and Marta Cubisino.
