Lexellent

What Lexellent does

Lexellent is a Milan-headquartered Italian employment and labor law firm (Studio Legale) founded in 2011, with operating roots tracing back to Giovanni Battista Benvenuto's eponymous 1975 studio. The firm operates from three Italian offices — Milan (headquarters, Via Borghetto 3), Rome (Via dei Gracchi 128), and Bergamo (Via Antonio Locatelli 49) — and employs 24 specialized professionals within a total headcount of approximately 32. Lexellent is structured as a partner-owned partnership with no external funding or parent company; its current leadership comprises Managing Partner Giulietta Bergamaschi alongside partners Giorgio Scherini, Marco Chiesara, Ugo Ettore Di Stefano, Giulia Leardi, and Marco Sartori.

The firm's core service lines are Employment and Labour Law advisory, Industrial Relations and Trade Union Law (including CCNL interpretation and collective bargaining), and Labour Litigation. Adjacent practices cover Corporate Governance & Compliance (Model 231, IP, M&A labor due diligence) and Gender Equality / ESG advisory. Service delivery is organized through multidisciplinary working groups of specialist practitioners. Technology is conventional professional-services tooling — the firm does not offer APIs, software products, or proprietary AI systems — and there is no disclosed public pricing model; engagements are negotiated per matter. Since 2003 Lexellent has held the Italian employment-law seat within a major global legal network, channeling multinational mandates to the firm, and contributes regularly to the ELLINT international employment-law network.

Go-to-market is enterprise field-sales: Lexellent targets Italian corporates and multinationals requiring complex labor-law advisory, industrial-relations support, and litigation, marketed primarily through analyst-directory recognition (Legal 500, Chambers Europe, Best Lawyers, WWL), Italian press, LinkedIn, and thought-leadership publications. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Notable credentials include ISO 9001 quality certification (first Italian law firm, 1996), Gender Equality Certification under UNI PdR 125:2022, and consecutive tier-1 rankings across Legal 500 EMEA and Chambers Europe.
