The role
We are looking for a lawyer with outstanding analytical and legal-writing skills, and a strong commitment to excellent client service, to advise leading international clients on complex EU payments and financial regulatory matters.

You will report directly to and work closely with founding partner Andrea De Matteis on regulatory issues currently shaping the European payments market — including PSD3/PSR, agentic commerce and crypto-assets.

Our written work is read by the European Commission, the EBA and national supervisory authorities. Clear, concise and rigorous drafting is therefore at the heart of this role.

About us
De Matteis Law is a Rome-based boutique law firm focused on EU financial regulation and competition law. Our lawyers have advised leading international payments companies for nearly two decades. The practice is growing, with new clients, new mandates and emerging areas of work.

We combine exacting professional standards with a collaborative environment in which people are supported in developing their judgement, expertise and individual strengths.





What you will do
Draft legal opinions, position papers, consultation responses and other client-facing work on EU and Italian payments regulation, including PSD2/PSD3, PSR, EMD2, IFR, MiCA, DORA, and eIDAS, as well as occasional banking-regulatory matters.
Take ownership of regulatory analyses, from identifying and assessing the relevant primary sources to producing a clear, practical and client-ready document.
Translate complex and evolving legal issues into concise advice for sophisticated international clients.
Support clients in their interactions with EU and Italian authorities, including meeting preparation and written follow-up.
Advise on competition matters in the payments sector, typically representing 10–15% of the role but varying by year, including payments-related aspects of the Digital Markets Act and occasional contentious proceedings.
Guide and review the research and drafting
