Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Willing to listen to the client's needs, prompt responses, and high-quality documentation. Unlike many law firms, the lawyer doesn't dictate the timeline; the client's needs (and concerns) are listened to.’
  • ‘They're there when you really need them, they explain things clearly, and they know how to firmly defend their clients' positions and interests. They also have the ability to identify practical solutions amidst often very complicated regulations.’
  • ‘Ferdinando Poscio is a very competent and responsive lawyer who also has a high-level commercial approach to deals.'
  • ‘What we appreciate about LCA Studio Legale is its ability to focus on the key topics of the process, taking care of the details in the background, therefore saving us important time.’
  • ‘Davide Valli and Luca Alfonso Liberti stood out during our negotiations for their technical competence coupled with attention to interpersonal relations.’
