Boies Schiller Flexner today announced that the firm has opened an office in Rome.
The Rome office is the firm’s second within the European Union and arrives two years after the firm launched BSF Italy in Milan.
“As the nation’s capital, Rome provides important access to government institutions in Italy that are critical to foreign investors and multinational companies doing business or investing in Italy,” said Italian co-administrative partner Luigi M. Macioce. “Our goal is to become the go-to firm for those types of clients. Adding a Roman presence to our established and growing Milan office gives us a clear advantage in being ‘closer,’ not only to our clients’ international businesses but also to the interests of family offices, estates, and high-net-worth individuals who are looking more and more to establish an Italian presence or grow their existing one.”
“When we launched BSF Italy, we were focused on two goals: creating a clear pathway into the EU for the firm’s clients post-Brexit and collaborating with our Italian colleagues to provide U.S. and cross-border disputes support for clients,” said Managing Partners Sigrid McCawley, Matthew L. Schwartz, and Alan Vickery. “The new Rome office demonstrates the success we’ve had in Italy and represents the next step in expanding our international platform to meet client demand.”
