FIRM OVERVIEW

Lipani Legal&Tax is a highly specialised multipractice law firm with a strong international focus founded in 1996.

From the initial focus on judicial and extrajudicial administrative law – which allowed the Firm to make a leading contribute to the reform of Italian public administration initiated in the late Nineties – we have expanded and evolved our skills over the years, to include antitrust and regulatory law and, more recently, corporate law, commercial litigation and arbitration, as well as topics related to European Union law.

In 2024 a group of professionals led by Claudio Visco joined the Firm, expanding our expertise also to financial and tax law, strengthening the practices already present in the Firm and aiming at a greater international visibility, also through the roles played by the new professionals in the International Bar Association (IBA) and in the International Fiscal Association (IFA,) thus consolidating our position as a leading independent law firm.

However, our approach to the profession has not changed: we aim providing legal advice with the added value of a strategic vision, to guide Clients towards the best legal solutions in a strategic planning process arising from our constant commitment to follow and try to anticipate our Clients’ needs.

CORE VALUES AND COMMITMENTS
