How I work
Working with Italy means dealing with rules, authorities and timescales that differ from those in France. Getting the legal framework right from the start avoids disputes and delays.
I support you in dealings with Italian counterparties, authorities and courts, coordinating the other professionals you need, such as accountants and labour consultants.
France is one of Italy’s main trading partners; the two countries share a border and intense flows of people and businesses.
Common situations
- An Italian customer who does not pay
- A contract with an Italian partner to review
- Staff to post or hire in Italy
- A dispute to bring before the Italian courts
