We have set up a Sustainability Committee and an Inclusion Committee, each pursuing different purposes to the benefit of our stakeholders.

We actively engage in a community investment program and an ESG Advocacy project aimed at developing joint initiatives with clients in the educational field.

 

We have embraced the 4th Global Sustainability Goal (“Quality Education for all”) and have built a social inclusion and support project for local communities called “Access to Education”. This project provides scholarships to young individuals from socially and economically vulnerable areas within the metropolitan area of Milan.

We are committed to present the first PedersoliGattai sustainability report in 2025.

Environmental Policies

Demonstrating a steadfast dedication to sustainability, we have significantly implemented measures to reduce energy consumption, attaining noteworthy certifications.

In tandem with these efforts, we have embraced environmentally conscious policies, encompassing initiatives such as eliminating plastic usage, adopting paperless practices, and implementing comprehensive waste-recycling protocols. PedersoliGattai provides a fleet of Firm bicycles as an additional stride toward sustainable practices, enabling our team members to contribute actively to eco-friendly and sustainable mobility alternatives.

Social

In steadfast alignment with the 4th Global Sustainability Goal, “Quality Education for All,” PedersoliGattai proudly introduces the “Access to Education” project—a testament to our unwavering commitment to social inclusion and support within the local communities of the metropolitan area of Milan.
This transformative initiative extends targeted scholarships to individuals from socially and economically vulnerable backgrounds, addressing a critical need for educational access. Our pledge is not confined to financial aid alone; we are dedicated to fostering academic success. This ongoing program annually supports four deserving students, ensuring they navigate their law degree through financial assistance and rigorous tutoring.

Moreover, the commitment transcends graduation, as participants are guaranteed employment within PedersoliGattai for at least two years post-graduation. This comprehensive initiative underscores our dedication to effecting meaningful change, with an annual investment exceeding 500,000 euros—a testament to our belief in the power of education as a catalyst for societal advancement.

Diritto allo studio

The initiative supports four young people each year who, without our assistance, would be compelled to abandon their studies. It offers significant financial aid and tutoring throughout their law degree, with guaranteed employment within PedersoliGattai for at least two years after graduation. This is an ongoing project in which the Firm will invest more than 500,000 euros annually

“We have decided to take action in our territory, Italy, and particularly in Milan, to give back something tangible to the community to which we are connected”

Our Projects

EBRI RITA LEVI MONTALCINI FOUNDATION

Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi-Montalcini founded the EBRI European Brain Research Institute to promote brain research. We assist in licensing patented antibodies to bio-pharmaceutical companies involved in the clinical development of innovative therapeutic compounds.

GLOBAL THINKING FOUNDATION

The Global Thinking Foundation (“GLT”) is a think tank established to prevent and counter every form of financial violence. For years, we have provided consultancy and support to GLT, both in regular matters and in specific projects.

One such project is the recent development and launch of the GLT Safe and Sound cybersecurity platform (https://gltsafeandsound.com/en/), which is dedicated to preventing and managing all forms of digital violence and cyberbullying. On the one hand, these phenomena are facilitated by the limited spread of digital skills and, on the other hand, by our country’s vulnerability to cyber attacks. The main goal of this innovative project is to raise awareness about digital safety education.

LE DIMORE DEL QUARTETTO

Le Dimore del Quartetto is a creative cultural  enterprise that values chamber music and  European cultural heritage in a circular economy,  evolving from a simple exchange: on the eve of an  artistic commitment, musicians are hosted for free  in a historic residence for a few days, and in  return, they offer a concert to the owners.

This  creates opportunities for meetings in unusual  places and territories often distant from urban  centers, reviving underutilized spaces and  introducing a new audience to chamber music.  Since 2023, we have been supporting the  activities of Le Dimore del Quartetto by providing  pro bono legal advice and assistance.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LEONARDO DA VINCI IN MILAN

We provide assistance in preparing tender documents during the execution phase of the works for the safety and redevelopment of museum spaces.

For example, we have participated in a significant intervention at the Aeronaval Pavilion, also with the contribution of the Municipality of Milan.

FONDAZIONE DYNAMO CAMP ONLUS

The Firm provides assistance on litigation matters to Fondazione Dynamo Camp ONLUS, a recreational therapy camp, the first in Italy specially structured to host sick children, in therapy or in the post-hospitalization period, free of charge for holiday and relaxation periods.

Dynamo Camp hosts children and young people suffering from serious and chronic illnesses and their families in free recreational therapy programmes. Activities and workshops are designed ad hoc for the whole family and aim to promote self-confidence and improve quality of life.

The Association promotes initiatives that highlight the need for the personal commitment of all citizens to the development of a just, accessible, and constitutionally principled social coexistence. Additionally, it organizes the “Day of Civil Virtue” every year.

Governance

Our approach is meticulously structured within the governance framework around maximal collaboration and transparency. Our management team regularly discusses pivotal strategic matters with an expansive executive committee, ensuring a comprehensive and informed decision-making process.

To fortify our commitment to excellence, we’ve instituted a range of specialized committees dedicated to overseeing critical aspects of our professional partnership. From the compensation committee to the conflicts committee, each plays a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of our operations. In tandem, we’ve introduced committees devoted to upholding our core values—the ESG, diversity, and youth training committees—each contributing to the fabric of our organizational ethos.

Adding a layer of diligence, our Committee of Guarantors, comprising the most senior figures within our partnership, stands as a bastion of the foundational values intrinsic to our firm. This is governance elevated to an art form, a symphony of precision conducted with the utmost expertise.
