Fivers Legal and Tax Firm

A team, an inprint

An idea of the future becomes a new story.

Leaving an imprint of oneself has always been in human nature. When we began, in 2014, we had a clear plan: to integrate different skills and experiences, focusing them on specific areas of activity, thus creating a true partnership firm; to put the Firm at the center of the project, bringing all the professionals who would be part of it to feel it as their own and to value it; to make the Firm bigger than the professionals who comprise it up and destined to outlive them. This was our idea of imprint, which among other things required the Firm to have its own name, independent of that of its partners.

In a short time, we became Fivelex for everyone, thanks in part to the contribution of our logo in the shape of a 5, which included a column with the last names of the founders, later removed from the Firm's logo.

When we launched the Firm, all this was an idea of the future. Today we areFivers, a firm made up of a hundred professionals, in a growth path, with the Rome office joining the Milan office, and with the knowledge that we have defined our own imprint.

ESG

We are Fivers. We believe in sustainability in all its three dimensions: environmental, social and governance. And we translate it into an operational model that can permeate the individual actions of our daily lives.

Our approach to sustainability is not just a commitment but a path, undertaken since our early years of activity and directed toward social responsibility and respect for the environment.
All this has resulted in a shared awareness among the Firm's professionals and employees, capable of assigning to each of our actions a feature consistent with the ESG culture.
