Collaborators ("Trainees")
The law graduates spend six-month periods of practical training in the Firm under the guidance and supervision of one or more partners, also being available to all lawyers of the Firm so as to offer them the opportunity to operate in different areas of law and exposing them to a wide range of approaches and methods. During the course of their traineeship, the "trainees", which are typically small in number and far fewer than the attorneys, engage in the activities of the Firm, both in court and in transactional matters, with the goal of guaranteeing them well-rounded and broad training in multiple areas of law. It is the Firm's belief that the development of the future attorneys is one of the most important duties of the partners and that the training of the attorneys contemporaneously in advisory matters and in cases before the courts represents one of the most fundamental requisites of the future lawyers of the Firm. At the end of each six-month period, the "trainees" are subject to evaluation in order to agree upon the renewal of their practice at the Firm, until the end of the two-year period of the mandatory legal training.

Associates
The attorneys collaborating with the Firm who are not members of the professional association (typically, already "trainees" and in some cases starting to collaborate with the Firm after their admission to the bar) lasts for a maximum of three years, only renewable once for a period of the same length. Our associates work under the direct supervision of one or more partners. At the end of the period or periods the associates may be invited to join, or be offered alternative permanent positions within the Firm.

The application form is available on-line.
