Since 1947, Patti Legal has advised businesses and individuals on civil and commercial matters, generational transitions, and the challenges of innovation.
The firm was founded in 1947 and has been led by Salvatore Patti since 1988. With the arrival of the third generation, represented by Francesco Paolo Patti, its civil law tradition continues alongside the development of new expertise and areas of practice.
Alongside its offices in Rome and Milan, the firm has maintained a German office since 2006, led by Valerie Moro. Knowledge of different languages and legal systems supports its work on cross-border matters. A network of correspondent lawyers helps coordinate engagements involving other jurisdictions.
The combined experience of university professors and practicing lawyers brings methodological rigor and attention to practical consequences. A comparative perspective helps clarify differences between legal systems and inform contractual and procedural decisions.
We assist businesses, international groups, and individuals with contracts, corporate transactions, disputes, and arbitration, as well as estate and wealth planning. Our work in finance and new technologies builds on this civil law foundation. For each engagement, we establish objectives, priorities, and working arrangements that reflect the client’s needs.
