Our Firm has established a dedicated International Clients Division to provide multinational groups, institutional investors, foreign businesses and private clients with highly specialised Italian notarial services, combining in-depth knowledge of Italian law with an understanding of international business practices and client requirements.
Carrying out an investment or a legal transaction in Italy can present specific challenges for clients accustomed to a different legal system. Differences between jurisdictions, documentary formalities, corporate representation requirements and the need to coordinate professionals across several countries make the involvement of an experienced Italian notarial firm particularly important.
We assist foreign companies investing in Italy, multinational groups undertaking acquisitions and corporate reorganisations, real estate investors, financial institutions and private individuals seeking to acquire assets, establish companies or undertake wealth-related transactions in Italy.
Our International Clients Division is organised to support clients throughout every stage of their transactions, providing a direct point of contact, coordinated management of the process and clear communication with all parties and advisers involved.
International Experience, In-Depth Knowledge of Italian Law
Our Firm has developed extensive experience in assisting international clients with transactions involving parties, documents and legal relationships connected with different jurisdictions.
Our knowledge of Italian law is complemented by an understanding of the working practices and expectations of multinational groups, in-house legal departments and international law firms, for whom documentary accuracy, efficient coordination and compliance with transaction timetables are essential.
Our involvement extends beyond the execution of notarial deeds. We assist with the preliminary assessment of the legal structure of transactions, identification of the necessary formalities, preparation of notarial documentation and coordination of subsequent requirements.
Particular attention is given to issues arising from differences between legal systems, ensuring that documents intended to produce legal effects in Italy are properly structured under the applicable law.
