Source notes: FRM Adopted PDFelement

Facchini Rossi Michelutti Studio Legale Tributario is an independent Italian law firm specialising in tax law, with a recognised focus on M&A and private equity. The firm operates from offices in Milan and Rome, and the team regularly handles contracts, business proposals, reports, invoices, internal documentation, and client presentations.

Before adopting PDFelement, the firm relied on Adobe Acrobat together with several free PDF tools. Rising licence costs, collaboration friction, adoption challenges from previous tools, and recurring PDF/A conversion verification and manual checks made the workflow harder to manage efficiently, so the team chose PDFelement for its intuitive interface, the functionality required without unnecessary complexity, competitive pricing, and responsive customer support.
