What Bergs & More does

Bergs & More is a privately held international law firm and business advisory practice headquartered in Padua, Italy, operating as BERGS & MORE S.r.l. società tra avvocati. Founded in 2021, the firm delivers integrated legal, tax, and business advisory services through 6 offices located in Italy (Padua, Milan, Bozen), the UAE (Dubai), Kenya (Nairobi), Qatar (Doha), and Iraq (Baghdad, via a partnership with ETIHAD Law Firm), supplemented by a correspondent network in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, France, Portugal, and Spain. The firm targets SMEs and large enterprises engaged in international expansion, cross-border M&A, project financing, public-private partnerships, and sector-specific mandates in renewable energy, sports business, ESG, privacy, cybersecurity, antitrust, and intellectual property.

The firm is organized around 8 Partners and 3 Of Counsels with multi-jurisdictional credentials (Italian Bar, Kenyan Bar, Solicitor of England and Wales, Bolzano Bar) and prior in-house experience at multinationals including RWE GmbH and Kimberly-Clark, plus affiliations with the United Nations, B20, and Confindustria Assafrica & Mediterraneo. Its service portfolio spans 15 disclosed practice areas organized into Legal Advisory, Tax Advisory, and Business Advisory, ranging from corporate M&A and commercial contracts to litigation and arbitration, energy, ESG, and new technology law. The firm won "Law Firm of the Year – Sport Law" at the Legal Community Labour Awards in 2023 and publishes the Gulf & Africa Weekly newsletter as a thought-leadership channel.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees under project-based engagements, retainer arrangements, and hourly billing typical of law firms and consultancies. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by direct partner outreach, professional referrals, participation in industry events (FARETE, Africa Italia Summit, Qatar and Beyond), and institutional partnerships with Confindustria chapters, VadoinAfrica.com, and the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce. The firm works with Export Credit Agencies, international banking institutions, and Development Finance Institutions to support clients in accessing cross-border financing for emerging-markets projects. No software platform, API, or proprietary technology product is offered; the core operating assets are the partner roster, the multi-jurisdictional office footprint, and the institutional ecosystem relationships.
