For the five selected candidates, the first real day of challenges begins. Welcoming them is Paolo Rapetti, General Counsel of the Sammontana Group, with a lecture on the increasingly strategic role of the corporate lawyer—now called upon to combine legal expertise with managerial vision. The participants face their first real case: analyzing a complex corporate scenario, establishing a hierarchy of responsibilities, and defending their conclusions, taking into account not only legal aspects but also ethical and decision-making implications.
Next, the participants meet Gaetano Mele, founder of Happy Network, and tackle a second challenge inspired by an innovative and collaborative business model. Their task: to draft a contract proposal—using AI support—that regulates the entry of a company into the network. Joining the judging panel is a special guest: Cristina Zucchetti, President of Z-Holding. A dynamic episode that brings together strategy, law, and entrepreneurial vision.
