Our team success is the happy outcome of a personal experience
Like most of the Delegatus lawyers, I started my practice in a large firm where I worked alongside amazing mentors and where I was able to experience life as a professional with means. Eating at chefs’ tables, taking trips... up to this point, the work hard, play harder lifestyle was perfect for me!
It was only after the birth of my first child, and the anticipation of my second in 2005, that things started to change. My commitment to being a great mom no longer fit with my high ambitions at work. I was torn. I felt guilty when away from work and guilty when away from home. At that point in time, I was no longer happy as a mother and neither as a lawyer. I had always dreamed of becoming a partner in a large firm… but at what price?
I started dreaming of a different, more agile business model. A model that could satisfy the most demanding business clients while also respecting the ambitions of freedom-hungry lawyers like me.
Determined to find a solution, I consulted lawyers in other firms, lawyers in companies, as well as several entrepreneurs and other business clients.
I asked them two simple questions:
- If you could completely reimagine legal services and law firms… what would you do differently?
- What would make you happy? As a lawyer? As a client?
And I listened.
Together, we reinvented the structure of the traditional law firm.
We developed a unique business model for lawyers who want to become masters of their practice. A win-win model that gives us the right to be truly happy. A model for both succeeding in life and living life.

After all the years of innovation and success, our collective spirit is more than ever intertwined with our passion. It drives us to surpass ourselves by exploring other ways of doing things and achieving success, ways that will always serve the common interest. Because everyone benefits from being happier while in business.
The aspirations of our clients and of our lawyers have shaped Delegatus in 2005, Delegatus today, and will continue to shape Delegatus in the future.
Ask questions. Reinvent it. Promote evolution. For you, for us, for the collectivity.
And above all, to give ourselves the right to be happy! We have always been inspired by doing things differently and will keep it this way.
Delegatus. Business law. Only better.
