BonelliErede in cooperation with Bahaa-Eldin Law Office

Since the firm’s founding, BonelliErede has always had the interest of its people at heart, regardless of one’s gender, ethnicity, religion, etc. The firm stands at the forefront of female leadership: one of the very few law firms in Italy with a woman as managing partner, Eliana Catalano, a board made of 2 female partners our of 6; a woman general director, Angela Cossellu; and a group of women in key leadership roles across legal and business functions – all reinforced by a governance mechanism that, since May 2021, guarantees the presence of at least one member of the less‑represented gender on the firm’s board.

BonelliErede has a dedicated D&I Committee, firstly launched in July 2021. The committee is made up of partners, associates and business support staff – believing that only by putting people from across the firm together it is possible to really address the importance of inclusion. Diversity & Inclusion is promoted and analysed at all stages, starting from the hiring process and all throughout peoples’ time within the firm.

In 2023, BonelliErede adopted its D&I policy.

BonelliErede has launched the “D&I Talks”, a series of events open to internal people and externally. The initiative aims to foster discussions on topics related to diversity and inclusion, such as biases hidden in the language and how to protect and support in context of gender-based violence.

The firm was also awarded the bronze medal from Ecovadis, one of the leading international platforms for the assessment of corporate sustainability criteria.
