Leading Italian firm BonelliErede has overhauled its governance structure, replacing the dual managing partner role with a sole president and appointing two new members to its board.

The firm was previously led by co-managing partners Stefano Simontacchi and Marcello Giustiniani, who had held their roles since 2013.

However, at the firm's recent partner meeting on 1 December, Simontacchi was appointed as sole president in a move away from the shared leadership structure.
