Baker McKenzie assists Walt Disney Italia in the closure of stores in Italy

Baker McKenzie, with Partner Massimiliano Biolchini and Counsels Edoardo Ceracchi and Anna Marina De Vivo, assisted Legal Counsel Luigi Condorelli and HR Director Silvia Ferrari of the Walt Disney Company in Italy in connection with all the labor, corporate and contractual aspects relating to the closure of all Disney Store branded outlets in Italy. 

The deal, which ended with a trade union agreement signed before the Ministry of Labor, also involved the Percassi Retail Group, with Legal Director Pietro Minaudo and HR Director Lia Maistrello, assisted by the firm Wi Legal, with Partner Filippo Collia, which allowed the majority of the dismissed workers to have the opportunity to relocate within the Percassi retail network in Italy.
