Opportunities and achievements
Where innovation drives success
In 2023, we won the Innovation in Adjacent Services – Putting a focus on ESG Due Diligence award at the prestigious FT Innovative Lawyers Europe Awards, and we took home the prize for our ESG Due Diligence tool in combination with applied business advisory to produce comprehensive reporting and advice on ESG considerations on both sides of a transaction. In 2021, we won Most Innovative Law Firm award. The FT Innovative Lawyers Awards Europe are among the most prestigious awards on the legal calendar and are highly competitive.
Maximising impact
Maximising social impact is at the heart of what we do. In 2021, we joined forces with the Italian Coalition for Civil Liberties and Rights and other international law firms to launch the Rule 39 Initiative. This collaborative project helps migrants in Italy, Greece and Turkey to seek redress from the European Court of Human Rights for rights violations they’ve suffered. We give asylum seekers, refugees and migrants essential legal support, helping to protect their fundamental rights. In Italy, 14 professionals were involved in Rule 39.
Action on climate change
In 2021, we launched the eMission 2030 campaign with the ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This is designed to keep our people constantly informed and involved in our environmental mitigation strategies. We’ve also established a network of eMission 2030 Champions who act as local focal points to enhance our environmental sustainability efforts and implement concrete actions in their respective offices, including in Milan and Rome. Over the next decade, we will continually work to minimise the carbon footprint of our activities globally.
