Stefano Calabretta is one of the founding Partners of Mitry Emerson Lewis and is recognised as a leading authority in high-stakes commercial litigation and corporate and personal insolvency and restructuring. Stefano routinely acts in complex, high-value disputes across all areas of commercial law, with a particular focus on matters relating to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), equity and trusts. He has acted in hundreds of commercial litigation disputes, including large-scale, multi-party disputes and mega-litigation, frequently in time-critical and strategically sensitive contexts.

Stefano previously worked at a national mid-tier firm in its litigation and insolvency and restructuring teams, where he advised insolvency practitioners, major creditors, companies, and directors on some of the most complex and demanding matters in the industry.

Stefano is known for his incisive strategic judgment, technical precision, and ability to consistently deliver decisive outcomes in high-pressure environments. What sets Stefano apart is his ability to anticipate how matters will unfold several steps ahead, by identifying risks, opportunities and pressure points before they emerge and thereby positioning his clients ahead of their competitors and opponents.
