LawCrossBorder
LawCrossBorder, founded by Lucchetti in Milan in 2016, handles cross-border M&A and IP commercialization through a lean, results-based model.
LawCrossBorder
Founder Lucchetti launched LawCrossBorder in 2016, headquartered in Milan. The practice grew from a conviction that digitalization and globalization were reshaping client expectations faster than legacy law firms could adapt — a gap Lucchetti aimed to close with a model built on technical excellence, direct partner access, and a cost structure unburdened by the traditional billable-hour pyramid. The firm covers corporate governance, joint ventures, M&A, and IP commercialization and distribution, with an active supply-chain practice. Its cross-border capability leans on a network of partnerships with boutique law firms and practitioners worldwide, giving the Milan desk reach into multiple regions without maintaining foreign offices. The firm also advises on private client and family matters, rounding out the corporate offering. The team page does not list named professionals or headcount. The website identifies founder Lucchetti as the architect of the practice. The firm operates from a single office in Milan, with its global execution dependent on those external affiliate relationships rather than a multi-branch footprint. Structurally, the firm rejects office-time-based billing in favor of a results-based philosophy, a posture still rare in the legal industry. It relies on a lean, technology-driven back office to hold overhead low while clients interact directly with senior practitioners — an architecture that mirrors the agile professional-services firms that emerged in management consulting but remains uncommon in Italian corporate law.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at LawCrossBorder?
LawCrossBorder is a law firm, not an investment manager, so it does not make allocation decisions. Founder Lucchetti shapes the firm's strategic direction and maintains client relationships. The firm's advisory work covers corporate governance and M&A, but clients retain full investment discretion.
How does LawCrossBorder source proprietary deal flow?
As a legal practice, LawCrossBorder does not source investment deal flow; it advises on transactions that clients bring or originate. Its cross-border partnerships with boutique firms and individual practitioners can surface mandates, but the firm acts as counsel rather than principal or intermediary.
Is LawCrossBorder structured as a family office or a venture firm?
LawCrossBorder is a law firm — an Italian professional practice — not a family office or venture firm. Altss classifies it as a service provider. It earns fee income from legal advisory and negotiates transactions on behalf of corporate and private clients.
Does LawCrossBorder participate in fund commitments or direct deals?
The firm does not commit capital. It provides legal services for direct transactions including M&A, joint ventures, and IP commercialization. It may structure or negotiate deals for clients but does not act as a fund or co-investment vehicle.
Which sectors does LawCrossBorder explicitly avoid?
The firm's website does not name excluded sectors. Its advertised strengths cover corporate and commercial matters, technology and IP, and supply-chain work, which suggests it is most active where cross-border structuring is required. Litigation, regulatory defense, and criminal law do not appear in its service description.
How is LawCrossBorder related to Lucchetti's prior firms?
The website states Lucchetti spent many years in traditional law firms before founding LawCrossBorder in 2016. It does not name the prior practices. The firm was launched explicitly to depart from the legacy billing and staffing models Lucchetti observed earlier in the career.
Does LawCrossBorder maintain separate philanthropic or family-office structures?
The firm advises on private client and family matters, but it does not separate those services into a distinct vehicle. There is no mention of an affiliated foundation, trust company, or multi-family office on the site.
