Who we are

Within our approachable, friendly, and team-based way of working, you will collaborate with the Team that advises major domestic and international companies on public and private M&A, disposals, demergers, joint ventures, restructurings, corporate governance, regulatory compliance and Antitrust advisory with a particular focus on complex cross-border transactions.

We were one of the first international law firms to open offices in Italy – Rome in 1993 and Milan in 1994. We know the Italian market very well and have long experience of cross-border deals.

We have invested in our Italian offices and we are now one of the few firms who can offer clients a full-service capability. Our team of approximately 100 lawyers comprises professionals qualified to practice in Italy, the UK, and the US and all our lawyers are permanently based in Italy.

Our firm, work and people span jurisdictions, cultures and languages. In a world where commercial success increasingly relies on globalisation, we offer clients a truly international perspective.

Over the last decades we have been working on landmark deals and high-profile cases – among them in 1990s the privatisations of Banca di Roma, BNL and Alitalia. These transactions and our way of working – teams of lawyers led by highly-experienced partners – helped to change the landscape of the Italian legal market. More recently, we have worked on a number of innovative deals involving Autostrade per l'Italia, Telepass and Arcaplanet.
