In 2007 he also earned the “First Certificate in English” at the University of Cambridge in Perth, Australia.

After law-clerking stints at the Second Civil Chamber of the Court of Appeals in Lugano and in the law offices of Bolla Bonzanigo & Associati, he was admitted to the Ticino Bar in 2009. Since then, Mr. Petralli has been working with this Firm.

Contract and business law, estate and family law, mandate and labor law, debt collection and bankruptcy law, tax law and trial law in general are his favorite fields of endeavour.
