We are a well-established firm based in Scotland. As well as offering the more traditional legal services provided by our experienced Scottish qualified solicitors, we are the only Scottish firm employing a qualified Italian solicitor and, therefore, able to offer our clients professional services concerning many aspects of Italian and International law, amongst which:
1. Italian Conveyancing:
Purchasing a property abroad is certainly appealing and, especially in recent years, investing in the Italian property market has become more and more popular. However, the excitement can easily end up in a groove of problems usually related to language difficulties and lack of knowledge of a different legal system and the ways this works. To avoid any possible pitfalls, it is a good idea to seek legal advice before undertaking any obligation. Our firm provides assistance throughout the whole process, revising or preparing legal documents, providing accurate translations if needed, making contact with any other professional involved in the transaction and so forth.
2. Italian Family Law
It is a fact of life that sometimes marriages are not successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual that financial issues arise, putting even more strain on an already stressful time. In cases like this, if there are different legal systems involved, the spouses might have to face an even more complicated situation. Our firm provides legal assistance and support to resolve all different aspects relating to legal separations and divorces involving Italian law or both Italian and Scots law.
3. Succession
Signing a will is always advisable as it gives the opportunity to dispose and tidy up assets and financial affairs in order to make things easier for our loved ones after our death. However, when assets abroad are involved or when an Italian national is the testator, extra care should be taken as possible conflicts between different legal systems are likely to arise and might create complications later on. Our firm offers guidance and assistance to avoid any potential problem, providing advice both in Scots and Italian law.
4. Credit recovery and litigation
If you are involved in a dispute with companies or individuals based in Italy, our firm can assist you in negotiating on your behalf or, if necessary, in commencing or defending legal proceedings, using a net of local agents when necessary.
