FIVERS Studio Legale e Tributario

What FIVERS Studio Legale e Tributario does

FIVERS Studio Legale e Tributario is an independent Italian law and tax advisory firm founded in 2014 in Milan (originally as Fivelex, later rebranded Fivers), with approximately 100 professionals operating from two Italian offices: Milan (headquarters, Via Paleocapa 5) and Rome. The firm is structured as a partnership (studio associato) governed by four managing partners — Alfredo Craca, Francesco Di Carlo, Francesco Mantegazza, and Fabio Oneglia — and is privately held with no external institutional ownership.

The firm's service portfolio is organized into three pillars: (1) Legal Advisory Services spanning banking/financial/insurance regulation, dispute resolution and arbitration, corporate M&A, private equity and venture capital, capital markets, corporate governance, banking and finance, project finance, administrative law, corporate compliance (including Legislative Decree 231/2001), antitrust, debt restructuring, intellectual property, data protection and cybersecurity, and private clients/family office; (2) Tax Advisory Services covering corporate taxation, M&A taxation, VAT and indirect taxes, transfer pricing, financial taxation, and tax litigation; and (3) sector specializations in real estate, energy and infrastructure, sports (notably football), and food and beverage. Service delivery is built around multidisciplinary teams that combine legal and tax expertise within a single engagement.

The revenue model is professional services: billable hours on project-specific, quote-based mandates with multi-year client engagements. Distribution is entirely direct through managing partners and senior professionals; no intermediaries or digital channels are used. Client acquisition relies on the firm's reputation, repeated recognition by Chambers, The Legal 500, IFLR1000, Leaders League, Who's Who Legal, and Legalcommunity, conference participation, thought leadership, and an international network of partner law firms. The firm holds ISO 27001 information security certification and UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification, and publishes annual sustainability reports aligned with GRI standards. No proprietary technology platform or software product is offered — FIVERS operates purely as a people-based advisory practice.
