‘Partners’ level of involvement is pretty unique.’

‘The two partners I worked with (Mr. Gatti and Mr. Pavesi) combine their law expertise with a deep understanding of the business, which proved to be extremely important within the case.’

‘I think that what makes this practice unique is the incredible synergy that the senior partners (Tradati and Bonante) have with each other, after many years of working together in GPBL, Toffoletto and GOP. I have known both Paola and Nicola for many years. In particular, I have known Nicola for almost twenty years. Over this time, I have seen Nicola grow from a junior associate at GOP to, what I have heard many say both in the industry and outside of the same, one of the best minds in this practice area in Italy. I have worked for, and with, Nicola. I have referred a number of C- level executives to him and, more recently, Nicola assisted the Company I now work for in its set-up phase with exceptional insight and understanding in a difficult environment.’

‘Nicola Bonante stands out because he doesn’t just give you an answer off the top of his head. He is never superficial. He doesn’t make guesses or estimates. He gets to the core of the matter, looks at every aspect, both in and out of the box, and then he gets back to you. All in a timely manner. You feel that your trust is well placed and I have seen sceptical and worried clients literally take a sigh of relief. We certainly did when he came on board to assist us in a very complicated start-up in partnership with a well-known Italian bank. Nicola is a business partner, not just a lawyer and, with an eye on costs in a fast evolving environment, I don’t think one could ask for more.’
