Lavoix, major European player in the Intellectual Property (IP)
industry, announces the acquisition of Italian IP firm
Giambrocono.
After opening offices in Munich in 2008 and Milan in 2016,
Lavoix thus strengthens its pan-European expansion. As of 20 June
2024, Giambrocono will become a subsidiary of Lavoix Hub, alongside
Cabinet Lavoix. Giambrocono will maintain its name and governance
structure.
Lavoix is located in the most industrialised European countries:
France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Switzerland. The firm has an
office in every city where the Unified Patent Court is present.
In addition to our organic growth in Italy through the opening 8
years ago of the Milan office, this external growth transaction via
the acquisition of an Italian firm benefiting from an established
history and a strong reputation enables us to achieve critical
mass, ensuring the quality of matter handling for our clients.
Giambrocono celebrated 100 years of business in 2021. Managed by
Fabio Giambrocono, the firm relies on an 18-consultant team with a
recognised expertise in trademarks & designs and patents, as
well as in litigation in relation with copyright and intellectual
property in general. The firm counts a staff of around fifty at
four locations: one main office in Milan and three secondary
offices in Bergamo, Reggio Emilia and Macerata.
"We are delighted to be joining forces with Fabio Giambrocono
and his teams. Their reputation in the Italian and European IP
market is firmly established, and the proximity of our structures
in terms of organisation and values has greatly facilitated this
transalpine marriage. At a time when the UPC is announcing the
opening of its central division in Milan, we are offering our
clients a truly pan-European strike force," comments Philippe
Blot, Chairman of Lavoix.
"Joining a major group like Lavoix means joining an important
player in IP in France and internationally," adds Fabio
Giambrocono, managing partner of Giambrocono. "Thanks to this
transaction, our clients will continue to benefit from our in-house
management style and client care, while enjoying a wide range of
innovative services and tools. The dynamism, reliability and
sustainability of our firm are thus assured"
