Dandi Media

What Dandi Media does

Dandi Media, trading as DANDI Studio Legale, is a boutique Italian law firm founded in 2003 by Claudia Roggero and Donato Di Pelino, specializing exclusively in intellectual property, copyright, entertainment law, and industrial property. The firm is headquartered in Rome with a secondary office in Genova, and previously opened a satellite presence in Berlin in 2016 to support European co-productions. It serves a defined set of creative-industry clients — including authors, musicians, film and TV producers, visual artists, creative businesses, and foreign producers seeking to navigate Italian copyright law and co-production frameworks (Italian tax credit, MiC public funding, PRCA registration).

Its service mix combines bespoke hourly/fixed-fee legal consultations with a retail layer of productized fixed-fee packages (Get Started Author, Get Started Producer, Get Started Musician, Get Started Trademarks, Pronto Intervento, DiffidaFacile, Marchi). Distribution is sales-led and direct: clients book consultations online via youcanbook.me, via WhatsApp, or in person, and the firm supplements this with content marketing through DANDIpedia, a blog publishing practical guides on copyright, IP, entertainment law, and emerging regulatory issues (EU AI Act compliance, influencer marketing, Balkans co-productions). There is no proprietary technology platform — the offering is delivered by senior lawyers end-to-end with no hand-off to junior associates.

The firm has no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no parent company; it is a founder-owned private partnership with approximately five people. Strategic partnerships — Doppio Nodo Double Bind (film co-productions, core), MOSSA APS (contemporary art), Sonus Factory (music), Itaca Time (music events), Key Pictures (independent film), and ARTROOMS (London art exhibitions) — function as referral and ecosystem channels rather than commercial JVs. Revenue is not disclosed.
