An Italian lawyeron your side in Italy.
A logistics-heavy corridor with the Italian market makes Dutch enterprises frequent claimants against Italian counterparties. Our Italian practice handles the local recovery end-to-end.
Italian bureaucracy is friction, not a wall.
Dutch commercial culture rewards precision and directness. Italian civil procedure moves on its own tempo. Our practice delivers documented, timestamped, reproducible steps that a Dutch legal department can circulate internally.
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 Dutch companies work with our practice
Rotterdam logistics operators, Amsterdam distributors and Eindhoven industrial suppliers regularly trade with Italian counterparts. When payment collapses, the file is Italian. Our practice is Italian — Verona-based, close to the Adriatic corridor.
