Overview

1999Founded1

BonelliErede is an Italian law firm. It was formed in 1999 when the Genoa-based Bonelli e Associati merged with the Milan-based Erede e Associati and the Brussels-based Pappalardo e Associati.2

Acquisitions

The three-way merger was largely a result of market pressure during a period of rapid change in the Italian legal sector as international (mostly American and British) law firms such as Clifford Chance, and Shearman & Sterling actively sought to expand their existing operations, or open offices in Italy. The merger was essentially a flanking operation that forced foreign firms to concentrate their energies on mergers with smaller Italian firms or to acquire specific teams.

In May 2019, BonelliErede announced the integration with Lombardi e Associati, one of the leading Italian independent law firms in litigation and corporate law. The integration came into force in July 2019.

The firm is now managed by a Board of Directors that is made up of 9 partners, including the Chairman (Stefano Simontacchi) and the Managing Partner (Andrea Carta Mantiglia).In October 2020, beLab, BonelliErede's Alternative Legal Service Provider, gained its own autonomy and became a corporation.
