‘Filippo Cecchetti - great problem solver.’
‘The distinctive feature of the Gianni & Origoni law firm is its specialisation in the area (in this case, real estate) combined with its potential know-how in other legal areas, which makes it a centre of excellence in terms of legal assistance.’
‘Gianni Origoni stands out for the combination of technical excellence and commercial pragmatism that the team brings to every mandate. What makes the practice unique is the ability to balance deep legal knowledge with a real understanding of clients’ business needs, allowing them to provide advice that is both sophisticated and actionable.'
'Compared to other firms, Gianni Origoni combines top-tier technical skills with a level of approachability and collaboration that makes working with them both efficient and enjoyable. They are strong on innovation in the way they staff deals, leveraging the strengths of both senior partners and highly capable younger lawyers. Their willingness to adapt billing structures to client needs, and their commitment to diversity and inclusion, are also notable.' 'In short, clients should know they will receive first-class advice delivered by a cohesive team that genuinely cares about outcomes, not just process.’‘The individuals I work with at Gianni Origoni stand out because they combine deep technical expertise with genuine commercial awareness and an ability to work as true partners to their clients.'
'What makes them different from competitors is not only the technical level (which is undoubtedly first-class), but also the collaborative and pragmatic way in which they approach clients. They listen carefully, adapt to changing circumstances, and find creative solutions rather than simply identifying problems. This mindset, combined with their strong personal commitment, makes working with them a genuine pleasure and a source of confidence.’‘Special mention for Filippo Cecchetti. He is always present, very competent and offers very effective solutions.’
