We advise our clients starting with the analysis of the needs, the definition of the objectives and the definition of the means to achieve the results, both in relations between private individuals and in those in which a public administration is a party or in cases in which direct or indirect public interests are involved.
The firm is then able to intervene both in the preventive phase, defining the contractual and organisational architectures for the construction of the instruments necessary to achieve the desired aim, and in the litigation phase, defending the positions of individuals and groups or enforcing rights.
And finally, when it is necessary to defend personal positions before civil, administrative and accounting courts.
