About the Firm

Studio Legale Amorese is a boutique corporate-commercial law practice, dedicated to serving our Italian and international clients with the highest standards of service and professional excellence.

Founded in 1973, the firm has developed a sophisticated corporate law practice with a particular emphasis on corporate-commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, private equity, corporate governance, competition/antitrust, and corporate restructuring. We have represented a diverse range of clients, from Fortune 500 companies to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), interested in doing business in Italy.

An International Perspective

Advising and representing international clients investing and conducting business in Italy is a core area of our practice. Our partners are international commercial lawyers, educated in both the civil and common law systems, and licensed to practice law in Italy, the United States (New York), and Canada (Ontario). We understand the needs of international investors, having acted for multinational clients across numerous jurisdictions.

Our offices are located in Bergamo and London. We maintain a representative office in New York, and have developed a broad international network of “best friend” law firms throughout Europe, the United States and Canada. Through these relationships and associations, we are well-positioned to assist our clients wherever their business may take them.

Focused on Business Law

Business law is our focus and our passion. Two of our partners have earned Masters (LL.M.) degrees in business law from The Harvard Law School. One partner holds a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Italian corporate law, while another has practiced business law internationally with leading law firms in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Our unique combination of international education and experience provides clients with a local partner they can depend upon and turn to for creative legal solutions in Italy.

Active Members of the Business Community

We are active in the Italian business community, and find the daily interaction with colleagues and business people to be both instructive and refreshing aspects of our legal practice. We are members and supporters of the Italian Chamber of Commerce & Industry for the UK, the British-Italian Society, the Italian Cultural Institute (London), and the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Canada (Toronto Chapter).

Our Core Values: Client Service and Professional Excellence

Our mission is to provide our clients with effective, results-oriented legal advice at the highest standards of client service and professional excellence.

  • Client Service. We are responsive, business-oriented, and committed to providing the highest level of client service. We take every opportunity to learn about our clients’ businesses and the industries in which they operate, to meet not only their current needs, but also to anticipate future needs and thereby advance their business priorities. We constantly strive to exceed our clients’ expectations.

  • Professional Excellence. We are committed to ongoing professional excellence in the practice of law. In addition to busy legal practices, our partners continually hone their professional skills by publishing articles in law reviews and trade journals and speaking at professional conferences. We strive to be at the forefront of our profession in the skill, expertise and judgment we offer our clients.
