Our attorneys bring credentials and experience across diverse practice areas, delivering comprehensive assistance to our Italian clients. From initial strategic planning, subsidiaries formation, and site selection, to day-to-day operational matters (including, without limitation, corporate, labor and employment, real estate, and immigration matters), significant commercial transactions, establishment of joint ventures, and, when needed, litigation and alternative dispute resolution, we ensure thorough support at every stage.
