The Firm was established in 1991, as Europe was reorganizing itself in a Common Market and entering a phase marked by increasing integration in various sectors, creating a challenging scenario of important developments in the legal profession.

Our Firm appeared on the Italian legal scene as a dynamic team of young, motivated, internationally-oriented lawyers, who had matured significant education and professional experiences in business law, offering competent and proactive advice and assistance tailored to clients’ individual, sophisticated needs. Maintaining the initial enthusiasm and commitment and our international business vocation, the Firm has been further enriched by new professionals and additional areas of specialization.

Today, the Firm is proud to offer a wide range of litigation, arbitration and out-of-court legal assistance, as well as consultancy for domestic and foreign clients in mergers & acquisitions, including cross-border transactions, private equity, company law, commercial law, contracts, tax, banking and finance, bankruptcy and debt restructuring, patents, intellectual property and information technology, antitrust, real estate, entertainment, labour and employment, criminal law, and administrative law.

Our lawyers and staff members are fluent in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Hebrew. Over the years the Firm has consolidated its original international perspective through continuous contacts with foreign professionals and institutions, while maintaining strong local roots and continuous attention to customized service.

The Firm has established its own highly efficient network of foreign correspondent law Firms, thus enabling it to provide fully integrated service with respect to cross-border transactions.
In addition to the original Milan office, the Firm has established over the years offices in Bologna, Venice and Geneva. In 2007 the Firm was renamed PALMER - Studio Legale to reflect the joining of new partners, sharing and enhancing the Firm’s original mission for high performing and accurate client service, timely assistance and fiduciary client-lawyer relationship.
