Domestic firm Lombardi Molinari is regarded as "a little bit different" to the other firms which occupy tier two. "They do not enjoy a stellar reputation for pure banking or corporate work, but their key area is restructuring and insolvency work," explains one peer. Although considered "stronger on the insolvency side," the firm has a well-rounded practice, which has experience on numerous deals for both banks and debtors.

Lombardi Molinari's long list of recent mandates includes roles for the creditors, debtors and administrators. Some examples its work for the former include, assisting Allison, an international eyewear company, in amendments to its financial debt restructuring and advising Cionti, a sportswear manufacturer, in its agreement with creditors (concordato preventivo). Additionally, it represented Carlo Colombo, a copper business, on its restructuring pursuant to article 182 of the Italian Bankruptcy Law.
On the bank's side, the practice has been mandated to assist with the restructurings of general contractor ITER, steel producer Cogne Acciai Speciali and transport infrastructure developer Coestra, among others.
Elsewhere, the firm has been hired by the judicial administrator appointed by the Court of Prato to assist with BF Holding's concordato preventivo.
