The Lawyer European Awards – among the most important awards within the European legal community – award the law firms that have demonstrated undisputed leadership in key practice areas and stand out for their strategic growth and involvement in the market’s most significant deals.

The judging panel highlighted BonelliErede’s three-year strategic plan, the introduction of client satisfaction surveys, the creation of 20 focus teams and a number of client development teams, and its involvement in some of the key deals of the year.

Co-managing partner Stefano Simontacchi commented: “This award represents a crowning achievement at a time when our firm is undergoing a process of rejuvenation and working all out to improve the legal services provided, with the client at the centre of all we do. Therefore, it is extremely noteworthy that the judging panel include our client-oriented strategic plan in its motivations”.
