Firm Overview:

LCA Studio Legale is an independent, full-service law firm with renowned international experience, specialising in corporate legal and tax assistance. Its main offices are in Italy, in Milan, Rome, Genoa and Treviso (located within the venture incubator H-FARM). It also has an office in Brussels, Belgium, and operates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in International Partnership with IAA Middle East Legal Consultants LLP. The firm has recently experienced steady growth, adding new practice areas and strengthening its core ones, and now numbers over 350 people.

The law firm primarily serves Italian and foreign companies and financial institutions, advising industrial, finance and insurance groups, institutional investors, investment banks, as well as SMEs, family businesses, professionals and individual entrepreneurs, who represent a significant part of the Italian business landscape.

LCA has always adopted an international approach, advising Italian companies on their internationalisation processes, foreign firms interested in investing or expanding in Italy, and multinational corporations involved in multi-jurisdictional and cross-border transactions. This international legal practice has been refined over the years to the point that LCA has established dedicated geographical desks internally. Each desk brings together interdisciplinary expertise gained in a specific geographical area and works in synergy with a network of leading local law firms. This fosters a constant exchange of know-how and guarantees clients comprehensive assistance in all relevant jurisdictions, not only with respect to the law, but also with regard to local culture and business dynamics.

The law firm supports innovation, creativity and new projects of young entrepreneurs active in all science, technology and arts fields, and places great importance on Corporate Social Responsibility, sustainability and internal welfare.

Main Areas of Practice:

LCA offers a complete judicial and non-contentious legal advisory service in the fields of commercial, corporate, banking, finance, capital markets, antitrust, FDI, tax, criminal, compliance, real estate and administrative law, corporate crises, labour and immigration law, transportation, sports, intellectual property and new technologies, life sciences, sports, food and art law, and in the protection of family rights and assets.

The real challenge for the law firm is not simply to offer legal assistance to address specific concerns, but to deeply understand clients’ needs and objectives in order to identify and resolve potential issues before they even arise.

LCA’s true value lies in its ability to understand and anticipate the needs of clients who are guided, step by step, in the launch, growth, development and evolution of their business activity.

From the conception of business projects to the structuring of financial transactions, as well as the formulation of the best litigation strategy in national and foreign disputes, LCA fulfils the current, potential and future needs of professionals, entrepreneurs, small, medium and large companies in a prompt and professional manner.
