Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The administrative and public law team of OC are unique in combining deep legal expertise with a genuine ability to understand and address the specific needs of clients. The team do not limit themselves to delivering technically sound advice: they take the time to grasp the client’s context and priorities, ensuring that the assistance provided is truly tailored and effective.'
• ‘A distinctive strength of the practice lies in its ability to engage effectively with public authorities — a capability that is rarely found in other teams. This skill is complemented by a strong commercial orientation, which proves particularly strategic for clients involved in public–private partnership initiatives. By combining a deep understanding of administrative dynamics with business-driven thinking, the team is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between institutional requirements and private sector objectives.’
• ‘Giorgio Lezzi is a highly responsive professional who is always available to provide advice, even on short notice. His team has the ability to deliver the required outputs in an impressively short timeframe, while consistently exceeding expectations in terms of quality. Without doubt, Lezzi stands out as the leading lawyer for the public sector in Italy.’

They are consistently reliable and provide advice we can trust. What makes them different from competitors is their problem-solving approach: they focus not only on identifying legal issues but also on developing practical and workable solutions. We also value their ability to strengthen our position and maximize the advantages available to us.’
