Maurizio Anglani is a globally minded attorney who combines strategic advocacy, cross-cultural insight, and a pragmatic approach to guide clients through complex legal challenges.
Maurizio’s practice centers on construction law, commercial litigation, and international matters. Licensed in New York and fluent in both English and Italian, he serves as a trusted advisor to real estate owners, contractors, design professionals and Italian businesses operating in the U.S.
Whether he’s litigating a high-stakes dispute, negotiating construction project agreements, or helping an Italian company navigate American legal terrain, Maurizio brings a rare combination of clarity, precision, and cultural fluency to the table. Known for his honest and strategic counsel, he prioritizes practical outcomes and long-term success. Clients value his ability to zoom out and anticipate issues before they arise, while also drilling down into technical details.
Maurizio’s legal path was shaped early by an inspiring family friend — a fellow Italian immigrant who rose from hardship to become a judge in New York. That spark of admiration ignited a career grounded in service and integrity. Maurizio’s own journey as an immigrant taught him early on how to adapt, communicate across cultures, and thrive in unfamiliar systems — skills that now underpin his ability to move fluidly between litigation, transactions, and international advisory work.
