Milan Office

Orrick’s Milan office opened in 2003 with 23 lawyers from Studio Legale Tributario, Ernst & Young's legal arm in Milan.  Orrick’s presence in Milan is paramount to our multinational clients doing cross-border business in Europe and Asia.  Milan is the principal financial and commercial centre of Italy, the fourth largest economy in Europe and seventh largest in the world. 

Our Milan partners are regarded as market leaders in Italy, focusing on cross-border and domestic mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and transactions, anti-trust, debt restructuring, project finance, domestic public finance, public administrative law, and intellectual property and technology law.  Altogether, our Milan team includes more than 27 Italian legal professionals, who are uniquely qualified to service our clients’ needs in the Italian and European marketplace.

Our clients in Milan include many of the world’s leading financial institutions and commercial enterprises, including Fiat, Enel, Intesa BCI (one of Italy’s largest banks), ING, Mitsubishi, Hutchinson Whampoa, Pfizer, Vivendi Environment, Universal Music, Nokia, Alcatel, Italtel, and the City of Milan.

Across the firm, seamless client service is Orrick’s number one goal.  When needed, our Milan lawyers can call on the substantial resources of Orrick's other US, European, and Asian offices to provide clients with the expertise and support for their transactions, worldwide.
