The Law Firm

We are an international law firm assisting clients in both Italy and abroad in various areas of company law.

We consider legal assistance as a service of proximity, and follow the “my face, my brand” approach. Based on this, we offer companies a direct and constant contact with legal professionals.

We offer our clients an integrated assistance, thanks to strong links with the academic world, accounting firms, as well as with consulting firms specializing in management, business development and internationalisation.

As needed according to the type of intervention, we can call on our network of colleagues and business consultants, linked to our firm through personal and professional contacts.

Our professional inputs have been provided – either in country or indirectly – for international deals with counterparts in around 32 countries.
