A practitioner-scholar reading of European regulation.

Corrado Finardi has worked in leading and directorial roles for more than two decades within the European regulatory ecosystem — across the European Commission - EFSA environments, EU-level trade and sectoral associations, national institutions, and cooperation with academic and research centres. His experience spans agricultural policy, food law, plant protection and agri-input, animal feed, trade policy and the wider architecture of EU regulatory governance.

His practice integrates legal interpretation, institutional analysis, political science, applied econometrics, public policy and regulatory economics. This combination allows a single professional to move, within the same file, from the drafting of a legal provision to the estimation of its trade or welfare effects, and from procedural positioning inside the institutions to the political economy of the actors surrounding them.

While Corrado Finardi leads Nexum's strategic direction and client relationships, the practice draws on a wider circle of senior consultants, subject-matter specialists and researchers who contribute to specific engagements — in law, econometrics, political science and regulatory science. This allows Nexum to scale expertise to the demands of each mandate while preserving a single point of accountability.

Alongside advisory work, he maintains an active academic publishing record in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and contributes to policy-oriented research on European regulatory systems. For multidisciplinary projects, Nexum assembles ad-hoc, project-specific teams from first-level research centres, universities and specialised experts — shaped around the exact scope and needs of the client.
