history
No history can be stronger than one that helps build the future.
Cortellazzo&Soatto was founded in Padua in 1967 as a professional partnership created by Antonio Cortellazzo and Renzo Soatto. In the course of the years, building on the vision of our founders, we have progressively extended our activities and partnership base, welcoming professionals with different backgrounds and experience.
We now have a team of more than 60 people, including chartered accountants, solicitors and other highly qualified professionals, each contributing their various skills and working together with a multidisciplinary approach.
We are a solid, close-knit team, which has grown over the years to offer constantly updated skills in a wide range of sectors and areas of targeted consultancy, from the most traditional to the most evolved and innovative, backed up by our membership of major national and international networks.
We combine ethics, confidentiality and integrity with our skills and professionalism day after day. This unique union represents the key of our strength and the distinctive hallmark our operations, making us a safe and reliable partner for over five decades.
