I’m Federica Casizzone, a 28-year-old from Naples, Italy. My international experiences, including studying at Universidade de Lisboa through the Erasmus program and living in Australia and Canada, have shaped my passion for diverse cultures and dynamic lifestyles.

In September 2023, I left my role as legal counsel at British American Tobacco to pursue a master’s in Business Law and Technology at Nova School of Law in Lisbon. This program has deepened my interest in Intellectual Property (IP) and the intersection of law and technology, ultimately leading me to join Abion.

In July 2024, I will pass the bar exam, marking another key milestone in my legal career.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about the ocean and outdoor sports, especially surfing, which keeps me grounded and inspired.
