WI LEGAL | Avvocati del Lavoro

What WI LEGAL | Avvocati del Lavoro does

WI LEGAL is an Italian labor law firm founded in 2020 by Gianluca Spolverato and Filippo Collia, operating exclusively in employment and labor law advisory for medium and large enterprises. The firm is staffed by 50 professionals — including 30 specialized lawyers and labor consultants and three equity partners — and operates from five Italian offices (Milan, Rome, Padua, Trieste, and Turin), each configured as a sector-specific center of excellence covering retail and large-scale distribution, logistics and transportation, sports and entertainment, manufacturing, food, tourism, digital/AI, and international mobility.

The firm's core offering is professional legal services — individual and collective litigation, personnel management, collective bargaining, trade union relations, social security (INPS, INAIL, Enasarco), workplace safety, privacy, and tax-related labor matters — supplemented by M&A and extraordinary-transaction advisory following the April 2026 integration of Enrico Sinigaglia's team. Supporting proprietary programs include WI LOVE EQUALITY (gender parity certification, UNI/PdR 125:2022), WI LEGAL L.E.I. (DE&I governance), and the digital welfare platform Dritto. The firm runs the Agenda 2030 conference series as a thought-leadership and demand-generation channel.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed to enterprise clients on retainer, project, or multi-year bases, with no public pricing. Go-to-market is direct relationship-driven sales through the five domestic offices, supplemented by earned media (Forbes, Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore), strategic partnerships with SHR Italia and HR firms, academic collaborations, and event-based lead generation. The firm reported +72% revenue growth in 2020 and has won consecutive Legalcommunity Labour Awards (Emerging Firm 2020, Fast-Growing 2021, Sports Law Firm 2022), with the managing partner named Forbes Italia Professionista dell'Anno in 2025.
