ATHENA expands with new office in Padua, strengthening its presence in the Northeast Italy
ATHENA Professionisti e Consulenti Associati continues to strengthen its presence in Northeast Italy with the inauguration of a new office in Padua, adding to its established locations in Milan, Parma, and the recently opened Rome office.
The Padua office, which became operational in January 2024, highlights Athena's dedication to offering clients direct support in the Northeast, responding to growing market demands and providing more timely and efficient services.
The new office reinforces Athena's belief in combining territorial continuity and proximity with the extraordinary advantages offered by digital management and communication. Having a physical presence in Padua will allow the firm to better understand the local dynamics and ensure services tailored to the needs of the region, in line with Athena's commitment to client satisfaction.
The Padua office is led by Giovanni Rigo, Director of Athena, supported by a specialized team focused on clients in the Northeast. Additionally, Senior Partner Luca Lupone, will provide strategic oversight.
Luca Lupone commented:"On behalf of Athena’s partners and professionals, I am thrilled to announce this milestone in our continued growth. The Padua office, following closely on the heels of our recent Rome office opening, demonstrates our dedication to expanding the firm while remaining closely connected to Italy’s business and economic landscapes. Since establishing our Milan office in 2010, which remains a cornerstone of our operations, we’ve also solidified our presence in Parma, serving companies that represent Italian excellence. Now, with the opening of offices in Rome and Padua, we are well-positioned to meet the unique demands of central, southern, and northeastern Italy, whose entrepreneurial and financial sectors often have roots in family businesses, yet with a strong international reach. Our focus is on supporting these businesses with the expertise and assistance they need, combining our Milan knowledge hub with a strong regional presence.”
The Padua office is located at Via Bellini 4, within the offices of Bergs & More, an international law firm with branches in Italy, the UAE, Qatar, and Kenya. This partnership reflects Athena's collaborative vision and commitment to offering clients a broad spectrum of services in a dynamic environment.
