The firm provides tax advisory, legal services, payroll processing, M&A and corporate finance advisory, global mobility consulting, transfer pricing, compliance, ESG advisory, and professional training through its Academy. Its client base consists of multinational corporations entering or operating in Italy and Italian SMEs investing abroad, served primarily through a partner-led, consultative engagement model. The firm is led by Managing Partner Monica Di Oronzo, with three additional Salary Partners heading the Legal, Labour, and Tax departments as of June 2025.

LDP integrates process automation technology into its service delivery through a dedicated Automation team (LDP Developers), which deploys interactive dashboards linked to databases, Robotic Process Automation, AI tools, and predictive analytics for Finance, Accounting, and Payroll operations. The firm is GDPR-compliant, operates as a benefit company (S.B.), and holds memberships in cross-border professional networks including Accace Circle, British Chamber of Commerce in Italy, ANDAF, and Advisor Experts, which support referral flows for cross-border mandates.

Revenue is generated through billable professional services fees across recurring advisory relationships and project-based mandates (e.g., M&A transactions, tax disputes, company formation). Pricing is per-engagement and not publicly disclosed. The firm has been recognized among Italy's top law firms for five consecutive years (2021–2025) by Il Sole 24 Ore and Statista, and is listed in Legal 500. No external investors, parent company, or ownership transactions are disclosed; LDP appears to be partner-owned and independently operated.
