Prof. Avv. Francesco del Bene
AVOCOM Law Firm LLP is an international legal practice built around a philosophy of efficiency, dynamism, flexibility and pragmatism in the resolution of problems. With its Italian base in Milan and a footprint that extends abroad, the firm has been named Structured Finance Law Firm of the Year in Italy at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. Prof. Avv. Francesco del Bene serves as a partner.
The firm operates from offices in Milan and maintains an international presence including Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Lima in Peru and a United Kingdom contact point. Its offices are linked through secure networks and connected to major international databases, an infrastructure designed to support cross-border instructions and the coordinated delivery of advice across jurisdictions.
AVOCOM's practice spans banking and finance, corporate and commercial law, the energy and environmental sectors, project financing, real estate, litigation and arbitration, bankruptcy and insolvency, and telecommunications. This breadth is directly relevant to structured finance, a discipline that draws together banking, corporate, project finance and insolvency expertise to design and document complex financing arrangements. The firm's project financing capability, in particular, sits at the heart of the sophisticated, cross-border transactions for which the practice has been recognised.
The firm advises a broad client base that ranges from large multinationals and industrial enterprises to financial institutions, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. Serving clients of such differing scale calls for both technical depth and commercial flexibility, and AVOCOM's stated emphasis on pragmatic problem-solving reflects an approach geared to delivering workable outcomes rather than theoretical ones.
AVOCOM's professionalism is underpinned by external validation, including ISO 9001:2015 certification renewed for 2024–2025 and a rating from a recognised agency, alongside a series of international legal awards and directory rankings. These markers of quality are significant in the finance sector, where clients and counterparties place a premium on rigour, reliability and consistent process.
Under the leadership of partners including Prof. Avv. Francesco del Bene, whose academic title points to a scholarly grounding alongside practice, AVOCOM combines international reach with specialist financial expertise. Its recognition as Structured Finance Law Firm of the Year in Italy at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms its standing as an adviser trusted to structure and execute the demanding financing transactions on which businesses and financial institutions increasingly rely.
