Studio Leonelli
The one stop shop for all your dental legal needs
Founded by Michele Leonelli, a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, Studio Leonelli brings deep legal expertise to the dental industry.
With a career spanning both international corporate law and healthcare sector representation, Michele has advised clients across multiple jurisdictions on mergers and acquisitions, contract law, company formation, and cross-border business strategy. His unique blend of legal precision and commercial insight makes him a trusted advisor to dental professionals navigating practice ownership, expansion, and compliance.
Leveraging the deep expertise of his colleagues in areas such as mergers & acquisitions, compliance, dispute resolution, commercial contract drafting, and employment, Michele and the Studio Leonelli team have built a reputation for combining technical excellence with genuine partnership, offering clear, strategic, and practical legal guidance tailored to the realities of running and growing a modern business.
From (i) setting up a new practice or restructuring an existing one; to (ii) safely and effectively scaling with targeted support for the day to day legal needs such as drafting or negotiating commercial contracts, reviewing leases and equipment contracts, or hiring staff; to (iii) selling or purchasing another practice or business, Michele and his team provide the perfect supportive framework for practice owners looking to start, scale, or exit with confidence.

Why Studio Leonelli?
Studio Leonelli offers dental practices the best of both worlds: the deep expertise of a larger firm, with the nimble, flexible, responsive delivery of a smaller practice. Simply put, they place a premium on blending legal advice with practical business solutions so their clients feel truly understood and supported through their journey of starting, scaling, selling, or buying a dental practice. Whether it’s a one-off question every few months or running an entire acquisition of another business, Studio Leonelli are there to empower dental professionals to focus on what they do best: delivering exceptional patient care.
