LGV Avvocati Studio Legale > Milan, Italy > Firm Profile

Diversity

Since its foundation in 2003 LGV Avvocati has been highly committed to gender diversity, offering equal opportunities on each internal level of seniority. In LGV we are convinced that equality will be achieved when everyone, regardless of gender, has the right to adequate flexibility. Therefore, in LGV app professionals can take advantage of ad hoc solutions, studied on the specific needs of the individual, aimed at allowing the compatibility of professional commitments with those of private life. As an example, LGV has adopted flexible and individually tailored solutions in order to respond to necessities of parental leave, equally applied to both men and women. Moreover, LGV has started to apply working methods such as smart working, suitable to increase gender balance, since 2010 and thus well ahead of the trend. LGV Avvocati has taken the diversity path since its foundation and still strongly believes in it.
