How our Italian law team can help you

Our Italian team are experts in Italian law, language and culture, having worked in both Italy and the UK. Members of our Team are dually qualified and registered with both the SRA in England and Wales and the Ordine degli Avvocati in Italy.    

Our expertise lies in all aspects of Italian property law and Italian inheritance laws. We advise on Wills and provide estate planning advice for individuals who have assets in Italy.  We advise executors, trustees and beneficiaries in an administration of an estate with assets in Italy and are confident in handling high-value and complicated matters.   

We also advise and assist in Italian residential property transactions, whether it be a sale, purchase, gift or transfer of an Italian property following a divorce, assisting our clients in the process from beginning to the end. 

Our team’s cross-border expertise means that we are in the position to provide specialist cross-border advice on areas such as estate planning, tax, contentious probate issues as well as on aspects involving vulnerable adults and minors. 

We can also assist you in your application for Italian citizenship, whether this be via the Consulate or through Court proceedings in Italy.
