The legal profession is becoming increasingly international, and Italy is no exception. The growth and presence of international law firms in our country is proof of that. Grimaldi Alliance represents a unique and multifaceted reality, deeply rooted in the local territory with 14 offices in Italy, as well as in Brussels, London, Paris, Lugano, and New York. This approach enables partnerships around the world in line with shared working methods and remuneration standards.
An integrated network, a form of “global alliance” that allows operations in over 100 jurisdictions globally, involving around 2,600 affiliated professionals.
“Through the Alliance, we manage over 200 new cross-border operations every month. Grimaldi Alliance is a global law firm with deep European roots, combining a strong legal tradition with an extensive international presence,” explains Francesco Sciaudone, Global Managing Partner.
“Founded on principles of excellence, integrity, and innovation, we deliver legal services that integrate local expertise with a global perspective. From 2023 to 2025, our presence nearly doubled, growing from 58 to 112 countries—a remarkable 93% increase that strengthens our positioning as a leading international legal network.”
Grimaldi is also deeply rooted in Italy, where it has opened 5 new offices since 2024, continuing its expansion at the national level.
“These are strategic steps,” Sciaudone adds, “in line with our growth vision, aimed at providing increasingly specialized and widespread legal and tax support in the main economic hubs. Our team includes a wide range of legal experts, such as former judges, distinguished university professors, prominent members of the Superior Council of the Judiciary School, and leading professionals in the financial and industrial sectors.”
Grimaldi Alliance’s hybrid nature is further confirmed by being the only Italian law firm nominated as a finalist at the prestigious The Lawyer European Awards 2024, in both the Italy and Global Network categories.
While Europe remains the operational base—with a presence in over 25 jurisdictions on the continent—the international network continues to expand in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, offering top-tier legal support in key markets such as Armenia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Uzbekistan.
“The Middle East is also becoming increasingly important for us,” says the Managing Partner. “We are in the process of obtaining a direct license to operate in the UAE, in Dubai. We are also present in South and Central America, operating in 17 countries where we position ourselves as a trusted legal partner for companies and investors navigating one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-evolving regions. Our expertise spans key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, corporate transactions, and real estate.”
The international law firm represents a hybrid model that is becoming a reference point: with 14 offices across Italy, it operates in 100 jurisdictions worldwide, thanks to a team of 2,600 professionals. Africa is the continent of the future.
