The location of the domestic offices enables the firm to be present and offer its legal services in the major financial and industrial centers in Italy. The international offices of the firm assure a direct assistance to our clients in all their operations, often of financial and corporate nature, in the United States, European Union and Eastern European markets. In addition to our foreign lawyers, most of our Italian attorneys have received post-graduate legal education and training abroad, particularly in the U.S., and are able to work and correspond in English, French, German, Spanish and Albanian. We recruit new attorneys with outstanding background and professional experience, who adhere to our core commitment of providing to our clients responsive and highly qualitative services. It is our belief that professional qualification is a most valuable asset and, therefore, we encourage our attorneys to actively participate in legal forums and seminars, as well as to the editorial activities of national and international law reviews.
Effective organization is another of our primary objectives.
In order to pursue it, we invest substantially in the most advanced office automation technology and computer equipment. Our offices are connected by means of virtual electronic networks and are interconnected to all international on-line data banks. The firm's clients vary from large industrial multinationals and financial institutions to individuals seeking advice on business and other personal matters. A significant portion of our clientele is represented by large non-Italian companies in seek of advice on all legal issues connected to new ventures or operations falling within Italian or EU jurisdiction. We are divided in several departments according to different subject areas.
