Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'The lawyers of the firm have a good technical understanding of the healthcare and life science fields, which is unusual for lawyers in Italy. This makes it easier to elaborate on suitable strategies with the client in the industrial property sector. This applies to patents for industrial inventions in legal proceedings relating to patent validity, infringements, and trademarks, where lawyers have extensive knowledge of the market situation.'
‘Excellent knowledge of foreign languages (English, French and German) in each team. Outstanding partners and asociates.'
‘What makes this practice unique is the team’s ability to combine strong technical expertise with practical, business-focused advice. They are highly responsive and approachable, consistently delivering solutions tailored to our specific needs rather than generic templates. Compared with other firms, their cross-border coordination and depth of industry knowledge stand out, and it feels like a genuine partnership rather than a purely transactional relationship.’
