How can we help



Inheritance

Italian inheritance law follows a civil law system, which means specific rules govern how assets are passed down to heirs.

Unlike common law systems, Italian law imposes forced heirship rules, ensuring that a portion of an estate is reserved for spouse and children, regardless of the wishes expressed in a will. Understanding these regulations is important for both residents and foreign nationals with assets in Italy, as cross-border succession can introduce additional complexities.

Whether drafting a will, transferring assets, or resolving issues related to international estates, professional legal support is often essential.

Those dealing with the loss of a loved one may also need assistance in accessing their rightful inheritance, contesting a will, or managing estate administration.



Contracts

Whether you’re negotiating, reviewing, or drafting a contract, we offer professional advice to safeguard your rights and steer clear of any possible legal problems. In case of breach of contract, we guide you through the steps to address the violation, including seeking remedies such as damages, contract termination, or specific performance.

We assist you in comprehending the terms, recognising potential risks, and ensuring the agreement complies with Italian law – so you’re fully prepared to respond effectively if a breach occurs.

In addition to legal constraints, inheriting assets in Italy involves tax obligations and administrative procedures that may vary based on the heir’s residency and the nature of the estate. Inheritance tax rates, exemptions, and reporting requirements differ for direct heirs, distant relatives, and non-relatives.

Business Legal Services

We provide legal assistance to support to entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses.

Starting or managing a business in Italy comes with legal requirements, from company formation to regulatory compliance.

We assist with company formation and registration, helping you selecting the most suitable legal structure and handling all necessary paperwork.

We also provide support with contract negotiations and drafting, whether dealing with suppliers, agents, or distributors, and we assist in resolving commercial disputes through negotiation or litigation when required.

Additionally, we provide guidance on compliance with tax and employment laws.

In the hospitality sector, we assist with compliance with local laws and licensing requirements.

Tax Law & Tax Assistance

We provide tax and financial consulting services, as well as assistance in exploring beneficial tax schemes available for foreign residents.

Moving to Italy means adapting to a new set of financial regulations. As a resident, you will generally be required to pay taxes on your worldwide income and assets. However, Italy offers provisions to ensure fair taxation for foreign residents, such as bilateral treaties to avoid double taxation and special tax schemes that may exempt certain types of income from tax.

We help you understand your tax responsibilities in Italy, including income tax, property tax, and international tax matters. If you are involved in a tax dispute with the Italian government, we provide legal representation to protect your rights.

Should your situation require it, we can connect you with a trusted English-speaking tax accountant who specializes in assisting expats.
