This summer will see the effective split of Pavia & Ansaldo – one of Italy’s most prestigious law firms – in a move that offers a timely and apt example of the evolution of Italy’s legal market.

More than 60 Pavia lawyers from Milan and Rome – plus the entire Turin and Padua offices – will create Agnoli Bernardi & Associati, headed by Pavia managing partner Marcello Agnoli and board member Maurizio Bernardi.
