Piergrossi bolsters labour law practice with local merger
Eversheds associated Italian law firm Piergrossi Villa Bianchini Riccardi has merged with Benvenuto Barozzi Scherini.
Benvenuto Barozzi Scherini is a labour law boutique based in Milan. It has 11 fee earners, which brings the number of lawyers at Piergrossi Villa Bianchini Riccardi to 50.
Eversheds hope that the creation of a labour law department at Piergrossi will reinforce the position of Eversheds human resources group, which has over 250 lawyers across Europe.
