Law as an instrument
of business governance.

LEAF's Legal practice supports companies and corporate groups in the coordinated management of legal matters. Not isolated legal opinions, but an integrated function designed to protect and develop business value.

Philosophy

Law directly affects margins, contractual resilience, risk exposure and organisational stability. Legal advice is part of the decision-making process itself, not a subsequent step.

Focus areas

Eight focus areas,
in constant coordination.

Procurement & Contracts

Structuring, review and negotiation of complex commercial agreements, public and private tenders, and real estate transactions, with integrated assessment of legal, financial and operational impacts.

Intellectual Property

Protection, management and enhancement of trademarks, patents, designs, know-how and copyright. An approach focused on the strategic development and commercialisation of intangible assets.

Risk & Compliance

Monitoring of regulatory requirements and management of compliance risk. Implementation of organisational models, sector-specific compliance frameworks and internal control systems.

Labour & Employment

Strategic management of employment relationships, organisational policies, corporate reorganisations and litigation prevention. Direct coordination with the Tax practice on labour cost and workforce structuring.

Technology Transactions

IT agreements, software development, digital platforms, licensing and the legal structuring of technology services and infrastructure. We support businesses and digital operators in ensuring their technology models are contractually and regulatorily robust.

Venture & Innovation

Support for innovative companies, scale-ups and technology-driven initiatives on corporate structures, governance, shareholder relations, compliance and growth strategy.

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Civil and commercial litigation managed in close coordination with the other practices. We prioritise out-of-court solutions and resort to litigation only when necessary to protect corporate interests.

M&A and Corporate Transactions

M&A transactions, acquisitions, mergers and corporate reorganisations. Fully integrated multidisciplinary due diligence across legal, tax and strategic areas.

Integration

Every legal decision,
assessed across four dimensions.

Tax

Financial

Organisational

Strategic

This allows us to avoid solutions that are formally correct but economically inefficient. Integration is achieved through stable internal coordination between practices, not through external opinions sought after the fact.
