Portolano Cavallo
Portolano Cavallo provides legal advice to companies operating in complex and evolving sectors: it is a leader in the Digital-Media-Tech and Life Sciences-Healthcare sectors.
The firm’s practice areas range from litigation to Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity and Venture Capital, from emerging companies to the exploitation and protection of all forms of Intellectual Property, from Employment to Privacy, Cyber Security and Data Protection issues, from Tech Transactions to Antitrust and Regulatory issues and White Collar Crime/Investigations.
In all these areas, Portolano Cavallo is recognized by multiple legal Italian and international rankings and awards.
Technical excellence, although essential, is not enough to satisfy clients’ expectations. Client satisfaction also depends on the quality of service. Our firm applies service levels that are typical of the legal profession in the United States and United Kingdom, characterized by accessibility, availability, responsiveness and reliability in meeting deadlines. For example, we return calls as soon as possible, generally within two hours; we are available outside normal business hours if required; we communicate with our clients and others in a comprehensible manner that is appropriate to their background.
Portolano Cavallo works with an international focus: over 60% of our clients are headquartered abroad, mainly in the United States and most of our work is done in English. The firm, therefore, advises clients on issues of a transnational nature, requiring an understanding of other legal systems in collaboration with professionals from other jurisdictions and the ability to manage cultural differences.
