Practice Areas

Recognized as a leader in European and Italian financial regulation, Jeffrey Greenbaum provides assistance on a broad spectrum of financial regulations including the areas of fintech, digital assets, AML, payment services, investment services, investment funds, banking regulation and insurance.

Head of the Financial Services Regulatory practice in Italy, Jeffrey capitalizes on his international financial regulatory background to assist clients in operating effectively in the evolving European and Italian financial regulatory landscape.

Jeffrey interacts daily with financial regulators in developing and interpreting financial regulation.

With his real-world experience in the area and his understanding of the whys and wherefores of international financial regulatory developments, Jeffrey proactively guides his clients before new regulations enter into effect.

He makes sure that the voice of his clients is heard in developing legislation. And, when necessary, helps clients effectively deal with regulations that may be challenging for them. Jeffrey works for his clients with regulators at the pre-legislation phase, consultation phase and upon implementation, and has also successfully represented clients in modifying problematic provisions of existing legislation.

Given his standing in the industry, Jeffrey has been able to offer roundtables for his clients with representatives of all the major financial regulators in Italy. He participated as an invited guest of the European Commission in its private placement workshops in Brussels.

He clerked for the President of the Italian Constitutional Court from 1985 to 1987 and has occupied the most important positions – including Chairman – in the International Financial Services and Products Committee within the International Law Section of the American Bar Association.

Jeffrey is constantly listed in top-tier rankings of prominent legal directories, such as Chambers & Partners and The Legal 500.
