We see entrepreneurship as the ability to act in the market and to respond to its changes. Entrepreneurship defines a company’s vision towards its stakeholders while shaping its identity (or the so-called “mission”). Entrepreneurship means to pursue a corporate vision across risk factors and prospect financial parameters.Today's increasingly complex economic landscape demands a new paradigm of cross-functional entrepreneurship — one capable of seamlessly integrating financial excellence with sustainable practices while maintaining unwavering focus on core business operations. Within this evolving framework, entrepreneurship transcends traditional boundaries to become strategic lateral thinking: a sophisticated convergence of diverse perspectives and expertise, unified in pursuit of shared objectives and positioned to thrive in an increasingly dynamic global marketplace. Not to mention that entrepreneurial resilience proves particularly vital in markets such as Italy.

Through unwavering commitment to empathy and professionalism. Our comprehensive approach to serve SMEs is rooted in a dedication to understanding the intricate dynamics of our clients' business operations, coupled with our ability to precisely deliver the strategic support they require. We deeply believe that only via a thorough comprehension of the underlying business mechanics we can effectively assist companies along their transformative growth trajectories. This is why our services include tailor-made tools for SMEs, either through time-tested features or via cutting edge solutions. Being clear and fully committed to deliver high-quality services stand at the top of our SMEs’ engagement philosophy.

We provide our clients with truly integrated assistance by supporting businesses through every stage of their corporate life – from incorporation onwards. We have been advising businesses on extraordinary transactions, such as M&A deals, structured finance projects, or capital markets processes for many years. We understand the complexities behind corporate generational shifts as well as the need-to-have adequate remedies & protections across all the phases of a deal. With more than 20 years of experience in Italy, a network active in 24 countries, and dedicated focus areas for cross-sector industries, companies choose Bird & Bird to handle many legal features of their business matters, encompassing both ordinary and (notably) extraordinary transactions.

Because we believe it is much more than a network. ELITE is the launching pad for modern entrepreneurship, a community of sound and ambitious businesses striving to make a change – just like our objectives in the legal services market.
