They are the protagonists of a market worth more than EUR 2 billion a year. Their studies represent the professional infrastructure on which the economy of the country is based. They are lawyers who have also learned to be entrepreneurs, creating complex, multidisciplinary and international organizations.
This book tells about the Italian business lawyers and the leading firms of the 2006 – 2016 decade. This time frame has radically changed the sector with the arrival of the Anglo-Saxon law firms and the birth of the great national studios and superboutiques.
«What we have witnessed – writes Nicola Di Molfetta – was a sort of Twentieth Century of the profession in which, in fact, we passed from telegraph to world wide web».
This is an indispensable testimony to understand the dynamics that have guided the evolution of this sector through the stories of its main actors.
Under the lens, the relationships, projects, strategies and backgrounds of a still little known professional élite.
Nicola Di Molfetta was born in Andria, Puglia, in 1976 and he moved to Milan in 2001.
He is a specialized journalist in economics and finance, and he has been working in the legal services market, in particular those concerning the business lawyers, since 2006.
He has been directing legalcommunity.it, the first digital information platform dedicated to business law in Italy and its fortnightly MAG, from January 2014, as well as coordinating all the publications of LC Publishing Group (financecommunity.it, inhousecommunity.it, foodcommunity.it).
Previously, he worked for Il Sole 24 Ore with the directors Guido Gentili and Ferruccio de Bortoli, Panorama Economy with Sergio Luciano and Lettera 43 with Paolo Madron.
He was also the Director of Top Legal between 2008 and 2011.

Press review “Cassa forense” – Dec. 19th, 2017
Extract – from the article written by Giovanni Negri for Il Sole 24 Ore, Dec. 12th, 2017
(…) “In 2007, the market already counted more than 5,000 professionals at the first hundred business firms active in Italy. 10 years later, more than 6,000 are active only in the first 50 professional associations engaged in this sector. In the same period of time, there were about 700 partners of these studies who changed careers, legitimising the phenomenon of “professional divorces” once considered a cause of scandal within the legal class and making it, in the long run, a custom. Only in the last five years of the decade that we are observing, that is between 2012 and 2016, it is estimated that these side passages have moved more than 400 million turnover.
There is therefore great effervescence and difficulty in identifying a single model of professional study, when, after the competition law, there is also a cautious entry of the capital shareholder. The book drops many veils and traces the identikit of what in the end remains still a stranger (because, rightly asks Di Molfetta, everyone knows what a bank is, but not a business lawyer?): still in 2015 44% of the companies with a turnover of more than 50 million, did not use a lawyer, for any reason, not even for legal one.”

Il Sole 24 Ore – “IF LEGAL STUDIOS CHANGE SKIN” – Giovanni Negri, Dec. 12th, 2017.
Extract:
“It is not the world. But it is certainly a world. We are talking about the world of leading legal services that in the ten years have changed and are still changing the business of attorney profession. Nicola Di Molfetta’s book «Avvocati d’affari Segreti, storie, protagonisti» (Lc editor, pp. 304, € 29) focuses on this and it highlights what is happening not only in the halls of large studios, but also in the whole sector of the profession. It is unavoidable to compare what the author himself does not fear to qualify as a «golden minority», about 20 thousand professionals who, only with reference to the highest range, move more than 2 billion in turnover every year, with the majority of the Bar (about 250,000 registered at Albo)”.
