Ascheri Academy

What Ascheri Academy does

Ascheri Academy is a London-based professional training platform founded in July 2013 by Guido Ascheri, operating as the education arm of the Ascheri & Partners and Studio Legale Ascheri Nelson professional network. The company delivers continuing professional education to Italian lawyers (avvocati), commercialisti, tax advisors, and internationally active Italian entrepreneurs, with content covering UK and international tax law, corporate law, residency planning, and cross-border business structures across 20+ jurisdictions. Content is offered in Italian, English, and French, and many webinars carry accreditation from the Italian Consiglio Nazionale Forense (CNF) for continuing legal education credits.

The product portfolio comprises live and recorded webinars (delivered via Zoom), multi-module short courses called Master Brevi, digital e-books/Quaderni, a Libreria of physical and digital publications, a podcast series distributed on Spotify, a deep archive of events dating to 2013, and an international legal/tax news blog. The platform is built on standard web infrastructure: Zoom for live delivery, Stripe for publication sales, Spotify for audio distribution, and email for newsletter engagement. There is no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability disclosed.

The business model is a hybrid of freemium and transactional. The majority of webinars are offered free ('Gratis') to drive subscriber acquisition, while revenue is generated through paid Master Brevi courses, e-books (€8–€20), and higher-priced physical publications (up to €121.60). Distribution is self-serve via the ascheri.academy website, with in-person events held in London and across Italy. The company is founder-owned, privately held, has 22 employees, and has not raised external funding.

Direct peers

• Altalex: Italian legal information portal owned by Wolters Kluwer that provides news, legal guidance, and training for Italian legal professionals. Comparable in audience (avvocati and commercialisti) and CE-oriented content, though its model is more portal/database-led than event-driven.
• Euroconference (Wolters Kluwer): One of the largest Italian professional training providers for tax advisors, accountants, and lawyers. Directly competes with Ascheri Academy on paid CE courses, master programs, and accredited webinars for the same Italian commercialisti and avvocati persona. Significantly broader in scope but less focused on cross-border UK content.
• Lextel: Italian online legal information and training portal serving lawyers and tax professionals with regulatory updates, e-learning, and CE courses. Directly comparable to Ascheri Academy's webinar-and-publication model and overlapping core audience of Italian lawyers seeking accredited CPD.

Broad incumbents

• CEDAM (Wolters Kluwer): Italian legal and tax publisher with a long-standing catalog of academic and professional titles. Comparable to Ascheri Academy's Libreria publishing arm and overlapping audience of Italian legal professionals, though CEDAM is primarily a print/digital publisher without a comparable live webinar community.
• Practical Law (Thomson Reuters): International practical guidance platform for legal professionals covering cross-border and UK-specific topics. Comparable to Ascheri Academy's content library on UK corporate law and tax, though Practical Law targets in-house legal teams and large law firms rather than Italian professionals specifically.
• IPSOA (Wolters Kluwer Italy): Italy's leading professional publisher for tax, legal, and accounting professionals. Explicitly notes that Guido Ascheri has written books for IPSOA, indicating direct overlap in content, audience (commercialisti/avvocati), and CE delivery. Much larger scale but less specialized on cross-border Italy-UK matters.
• NT+Fiscalità (Il Sole 24 Ore): Tax and accounting professional platform run by Il Sole 24 Ore, Italy's leading financial newspaper. Comparable to Ascheri Academy in serving commercialisti with structured CE and reference content, though with substantially broader scope and established media scale.
• Giuffrè Francis Lefebvre: Major Italian legal publisher offering books, journals, and training for the Italian legal profession. Overlaps with Ascheri Academy in legal CE for avvocati and in publishing legal manuals, though its product portfolio is broader and its channel is more publishing-led than event-led.

Regional players

• Scuola Superiore dell'Avvocatura: Italy's institutional training body for lawyers, established by the Cassa Forense and the CNF. Issues CNF-accredited continuing education for avvocati, the same accreditation framework Ascheri Academy targets. Operates at national scale as a non-profit, with overlapping accreditation dependency but a less commercial model.

Emerging players

• Legal English (language and practice training): Italian-focused English-language legal training provider for Italian lawyers seeking to practice cross-border. Compares to Ascheri Academy on the Italian-British cross-border training niche, though narrower (language-focused) and with smaller community scale.
