"An increasingly important presence on the TMT scene, Portolano has stormed the rankings this year. This young and dynamic team’s stellar media practice was rewarded for its “precision, flexibility and business orientation” with high-profile, cutting-edge mandates for sophisticated clients. Meanwhile, the group’s already strong technology practice developed its expertise in outsourcing, e-commerce and online gaming, and the telecommunications practice is also expanding. This is a firm that “performs spectacularly” and delivers “simply impeccable quality” according to commentators. Francesco Portolano is one of the most active practitioners in the sector and, despite his youth, is one of the most highly respected. Domenico Colella is involved in Internet and content work. Interviewees earmark Ernesto Apa as a rising star."
