The firm was founded in 1969 and since then has steadily developed its three core practice areas: defending individuals and companies in criminal matters, copyright and protecting image and reputation in press and media relations.

As the firm has expanded, a process of diversification has taken place and its practice areas have been broadened to include claims relating to the digital economy and cases to be heard by commercial courts, criminal courts and independent administrative authorities.

The firm acts for foreign governments and its lawyers are often involved in cases before foreign courts, where authorised by international treaty, and in extradition proceedings.
