He graduated in law cum laude from the University of Milan, in 1955, and began to practice the same year.

Until the summer of 1959 he alternated his practice with teaching law and economics in secondary schools. He was admitted to the Bar that year, and thereafter worked mainly and then exclusively in the areas of employment law and social insurance in Milan and in other jurisdictions in Italy, later being admitted to appear before the Supreme Court. His work focused on acting for multinationals, leading domestic companies and senior management in both contentious and non-contentious matters.

Until June 1975 he worked with Umberto and Ferdinando Toffoletto and then, from 1975, in Stanchi Studio Legale, first with his brother Romolo and then with Andrea Stanchi and Annamaria Pedroni.

His clients came from almost all sectors of business, and he participated in the main disputes of the various periods over the last sixty years.

He wrote regularly for the leading journals of the sector (from Informatore Pirola, Intersind, etc. onwards) on a broad range of employment law matters.

He was a member of the Italian Employment Law and Social Insurance Association (AIDLASS) from the mid-60s; he participated in the establishment (in 1973) and as a member of the board of directors of the Milan section of the Domenico Napoletano Study Centre. A member of UIA (International Union of Lawyers) since its foundation, he was also a member of AGI (Italian Employment Lawyers Association), and sat on its Scientific Committee, also lecturing at its Training School. From 1985 he was a member of the Management Committee of the Maximario di Giurisprudenza del Lavoro, and was regularly invited to speak at conferences.

Rapporteur on labour litigation for Italy at the Jean Dabin XI Days of Legal Studies, 14 and 15 October 1982 on “L’evolution du Droit Judiciaire”, held at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve.

Upon designation by Milan Bar Council, he drew up the Italian report on “Intervention of the State in Labour Law” for the International Union of Lawyers congress held in Luxembourg in 1983. In 1998 he collaborated as a lecturer on complementary pension schemes at the School of Specialisation in Labour Law at the University of Parma. He was a member of the working group coordinated by Aurelio D. Candian, Sergio Paci and Angelo Porta for the “Pension Forum” at Bocconi University, whose output was the “Report on Complementary Pension Schemes” of March 27, 2000. In the same year, by appointment by the Ministry for Cultural Assets and Activities, he took part in the Seminar on the reform of employment litigation, reporting on labour litigation and employment in the public sector. In 2004 he was invited to lecture on legal and contractual regulations in journalism, in the “Master’s Degree in Journalism” at the Leonardo Mondadori Foundation.
