We take care of our clients’ interests through timely and experienced legal assistance and representation, in the event of judicial resolution or arbitration settlement of disputes across different sectors and broader business activities.

• We operate in matters of civil liability – contractual and non-contractual – and damages compensation within civil, corporate and commercial law, industrial and intellectual property, banking and insurance law and within the scope of libel damages compensations and professional and medical liability.
• In the environmental field, we handle disputes related to waste management, remediation procedures, atmospheric, water and noise pollution. We have well-established expertise in crimes related to new technologies, including dealings with Judicial and Police Authorities by Internet Service Providers.
• Our experience allows us to extend assistance even in cases of domestic and international arbitration proceedings, in mediation and assisted negotiation proceedings, in out-of-court negotiations aimed at amicable settlement of disputes or at reaching settlement agreements, in liaison activities with foreign lawyers in the case of transnational judgments.
• With regard to tax litigation, our professionals have significant experience in disputes and pre-litigation procedures alongside companies and individuals – residents and non-residents – large-sized companies and Italian subsidiaries of multinational groups, before the Tax Administration and subsequently before the organs of tax justice, Tax Commissions and the Court of Cassation. The team’s activities also involve assistance in various motion proceedings – ordinary, anti-elusive, non-application of anti-avoidance provisions – and in the event of tax audits. We also work in customs litigation and, generally, in handling transnational issues.

We have also developed significant experience in the area of litigation funding, a phenomenon that is growing rapidly in Italy and is already very relevant abroad. Litigation funding, or the assignment of disputed rights, can be used for individual or recurring cases. The basic concept is that a party may assign the disputed right to damages, without any charge for legal fees or obligation to pay if the claim is unsuccessful. This type of agreement can be combined with pothumous insurance, where the party pays a premium to secure coverage against the risk of liability for adverse costs in the event of a loss.

Our litigation funding team includes lawyers experienced in finance, corporate, litigation and arbitration, business crisis, intellectual property and taxation. Our team is able to provide litigation funding funds and individual companies with an assessment of the risks and returns of potential litigation, structure agreements to assign the disputed right or to fund the litigation, manage litigation and assist clients in resolving disputes through a settlement agreement.

In addition, we have developed significant experience in assisting litigants at all stages in the acquisition and financing of domestic and international litigation and arbitration proceedings.
