Ascofirm Group
Ascofirm Group is a multi-jurisdiction advisory platform founded by Avv. Valerio Scimemi, an Italian-qualified lawyer (Foro di Palermo, Cassazionista) with over 25 years of experience in cross-border transactions and international commercial law.
Headquartered in Hong Kong with offices in Shenzhen, Milan, Modena and Palermo, Ascofirm advises corporations, financial institutions and entrepreneurs on complex cross-border matters spanning Europe, Hong Kong, Greater China and emerging markets.
Core practice areas include mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, international contract structuring, distribution agreements, IP governance and commercial dispute resolution. Ascofirm's positioning at the intersection of the Italian and Asian legal markets makes it a natural partner for Italian companies expanding into the Asia-Pacific region and for Asian businesses seeking access to European markets.
The firm regularly works alongside investment banks, international law firms and family offices on transactions where coordination across multiple legal, regulatory and financial frameworks is critical. Valerio Scimemi also serves as Legal Manager at Oldham, Li & Nie (OLN), a leading Hong Kong law firm, and is pending registration as an Italian Registered Foreign Lawyer in Hong Kong
