What Gitti and Partners does

Gitti and Partners is an Italian full-service law firm (Studio Legale Gitti and Partners, an associazione professionale under Italian law) operating from offices in Milan (headquarters, Via Dante 9), Rome (Piazza dei Caprettari, 70) and Brescia (Piazza della Loggia, 5). The firm is privately held as a partnership and has no disclosed external investors or parent company. With a headcount in the 101-250 range, it sits in the mid-tier of the Italian legal market and is recognized in Chambers Global, Legal 500 EMEA (Leading Firm in consecutive years 2020 and 2021), Top Legal (Corporate M&A and Energy), Leaders League (Litigation/Arbitration), and Legal 500 TR Standout Lawyer 2025.

The firm organizes its practice around financial regulation and investment funds, Infrastructure & Construction, and general corporate/M&A advisory. Its services cover mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, corporate restructuring, fund formation, financial regulation, project finance, and construction matters. Revenue is generated on a professional-services, per-engagement basis from corporate clients, investment funds, private equity sponsors, and financial institutions — there are no disclosed pricing tiers or productized offerings. The deal track record spans M&A, private equity investments, real estate transactions, and financing arrangements, with documented mandates including the Mozarc Medical acquisition of Bellco (2025), the PAIP acquisition of La Stampa, the Algebris acquisition of Geosec, Ardian acquisitions of Sicer and Vista Vision, multiple Unigrains transactions, and green financing for the GR Value wind farm with UniCredit.

Distribution is direct-to-client through partner-led engagement teams, with international mandates typically handled via co-counsel relationships — most notably with DLA Piper on cross-border deals covering US, German, Chinese, and Italian jurisdictions. Recent strategic activity has focused on lateral partner hiring (Emanuele Umberto Aurilia for financial regulation, Carmen Leo for Infrastructure & Construction) and executive committee renewal (Marco Rizzo), indicating deliberate capability buildout in regulated funds and infrastructure rather than headcount-led scaling. The firm maintains a single-country operating footprint in Italy and serves primarily European-domiciled clients.
