Firm Description

CMS Adonnino Ascoli & Cavasola Scamoni is a leading Italian law and tax firm, with offices in Rome and Milan. The firm is the product of a merger of three long-established firms of acknowledged experience and reputation (sating back to 1901) that, long before the merger, benefited from a successful co-operation.

The firm is presently composed of 20 partners and comprises over 80 lawyers and tax experts. The firm specializes in corporate, commercial and tax law. Its professional activity is equally divided between contentious and non-contentious work. The firm regularly works in English and French, with mother-tongue support staff. Many of the lawyers have been educated abroad and most of them have undertaken post-graduate studies, completed additional graduate legal studies at foreign schools and worked in the other European countries. In addition, many of its associates are members of international lawyers’ s associations and regularly publish in both international and Italian legal journals and have contributed Italian national reports in legal texts on international commerce.

The firm is a member of CMS, together with other major European independent firms which provide clients with a full range of legal and tax services. CMS was established in 1999 and today comprises nine member firms, employing over 2,800 lawyers. CMS operates in 49 cities, with 55 offices. The majority of the firm’s experts are located in Europe. Its reach, however, extends from Asia to Latin America. CMS clients benefit from a joined-up organization committed to high standards of service.
