The Firm

Wegal was born from the merger of our national and international law firms. Drawing on a long professional tradition, the founders have combined their expertise to create a modern, multidisciplinary firm, where history, current affairs, and the future merge. The name Wegal expresses the founding partners and all their staff’s commitment to working together to create a law firm that stands out in the market for its ability to offer integrated and flexible solutions, anticipating the needs of an evolving world.

History

Wegal has its roots in the professional histories of its founding partners and the law firms from which they come: BFP Studio Legale with lawyers Bettini, Formigaro, Pericu and Pastorini; Rocco di Torrepadula & Scarnato Studio Legale; Ovadia Studio Legale; MR International Lawyers.

The experience gained over the decades in assisting national and foreign companies and groups has allowed the lawyers to establish themselves as points of reference in their respective fields: Bettini, Formigaro, Pericu and Pastorini (corporate and commercial law, M&A, corporate crisis law, administrative law and market regulation); Rocco di Torrepadula & Scarnato (labour law and social security); Ovadia (commercial contracts, cultural heritage legislation and personal data protection); Molisani (maritime law, transport and insurance, international trade).

Their past and present history is inextricably linked to several key figures, now Honorary Partners of Wegal, who have made a decisive contribution both to defining the philosophy underlying the professional firm’s project and to planning its organizational development and market positioning of legal assistance services.

A Single Identity: Principles and Values

The partners’ established tradition in their respective former firms continues today in a new venture: Wegal, which embodies the vision of a professional firm inspired by modern business standards, with an innovative approach, and ready to meet current and future market challenges. At Wegal, working together is based on shared principles, such as:

  • transparency in professional relationships;
  • using new technologies to create value for customers;
  • transparency in relations with the market;

The values that inspire the way in which the members and all those who are part of Wegal live their profession are:

Team

Each issue is handled collaboratively, with team spirit and with the aim of placing the collaboration of professionals at the service of the best assistance.

People

Investing in people is essential for the growth of the firm and for offering clients the best possible support.

Perseverance

The firm determination to make the Clients' problems our own and solve them is the cornerstone of the professional approach of every Wegal lawyer.

Horizontality

It is the key word both in the range of services offered which cover all the most relevant sectors for corporate law, and in the dialogue between partners and with the Client.

International Openness

Thanks to the professional experience of its founding partners and its network of international contacts, Wegal positions itself as a reality on which Italian clients can also count when looking abroad and, at the same time, as a reference point for foreign investors in Italy.

Objectives

Leveraging its history and the firm’s current strengths, Wegal aims to be a key player in the evolution of the legal sector. The founding partners are working to integrate the most relevant innovation topics into the organizational structure:

  • legal tech;
  • new communication languages;
  • sustainability and transparency.

The first step taken in this direction concerns staff training: a crucial step to ensure these themes are integrated not only into the firm’s philosophy but also into its daily operations.
