Martina Bosi
Fellow at the Berkeley Art, Law, and Finance Project
Martina is a Senior Associate in the Milan office of Pavia e Ansaldo, a leading Italian law firm, specialising in corporate, private equity and art law. She advises on high-profile extraordinary transactions and complex corporate and governance matters, including acquisitions, leveraged buy-outs, mergers and corporate reorganisations. She also leverages her background to bridge legal practice and the art market. She holds an LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Art, Business and Law from Queen Mary University of London (2024/25), graduating with Distinction, with a particular focus on the intersection of art and finance, legal frameworks for cultural investment, and sustainability in the art market. Building on her transactional experience, Martina has developed research and professional interests around the legal and economic dynamics of the art market and innovative models of cultural investment.
Martina serves as European Officer of the Young Art Lawyers Association (YALA). She is also an editor for the Institute of Art and Law in London and a member of the International Bar Association (IBA) and the Art Lawyers Association (ALA).
Her most recent publication, “Impact Investing at the Intersection of Arts and Health: An Opportunity for Unlocking Public Benefit” published in Art, Antiquity and Law (December 2025), examines the growing momentum of impact investing – aimed at generating measurable social or environmental benefits alongside financial returns – and the increasing recognition of the arts as a driver of health and well-being. The article explores how visual arts initiatives focused on well-being can leverage impact investing as a strategic response to declining public funding.
