An Italian lawyeron your side in Italy.
When your U.S. company needs to collect from an Italian debtor, or enforce a U.S. judgment in Italy, the leg that decides the outcome sits in Italy. Our practice is Italian — we handle the Italian side end-to-end.
Italian bureaucracy is friction, not a wall.
A U.S. judgment does not travel automatically to Italy. Recognition proceeds under Regolamento CE and Italian civil procedure, with document authentication, translation and local filing. We handle the Italian leg — quietly, methodically.
Four disciplined
steps.
Each file is prepared to the standard Italian tribunals expect, and pursued locally by counsel of record. Every step is delivered as a written, timestamped record — easy to share with your board and in-house counsel.
Preliminary claim assessment
You submit your contract, invoices and correspondence through the secure form. We review the documents at no cost.
Initial assessment
We provide an initial assessment of the claim and its recovery prospects — including the procedural route, expected timing and cost estimate. No legal fees are charged for this initial assessment.
Formal demand
A demand letter under Italian legal standards, sent PEC or registered post to the debtor — often sufficient to trigger settlement without litigation.
Local action & enforcement
Where the debtor refuses to engage, we file the appropriate proceeding — decreto ingiuntivo, ordinary claim, and enforcement (esecuzione forzata) — before the competent Italian tribunal.
We know Italy.
We are on your side.
To deal with Italy, it helps to have an Italian on your side.
Italian courts, enforcement procedures and administrative formalities operate within a procedural framework that is unfamiliar to many foreign counsel. We practise Italian law here, every day. That familiarity — with the courthouse, with local procedure, with the local judge's tempo — is the difference between a file that moves and a file that stalls.
Filed nationwide. Verona is our base. Italy's electronic civil procedure (Processo Civile Telematico) allows us to file, receive service and correspond with any Italian tribunal remotely.
Professional secrecy under Italian law.
Information and documents received in connection with the professional relationship are subject to the duties of segreto professionale and confidentiality imposed on Italian lawyers by art. 622 of the Italian Criminal Code and art. 28 of the Codice Deontologico Forense.
Why U.S. companies work with our practice
From NY financial firms to California manufacturers to Texas oilfield suppliers, U.S. enterprises regularly trade with Italian counterparts. When payment breaks down or a U.S. judgment needs to be enforced against Italian assets, our practice absorbs the local Italian workflow.
