General Counseling

I

n today’s current complex economic context, the more prudent and healthier companies cannot avoid proactively addressing the many legal issues they face every day, all of which require constant monitoring in order to reduce legal (and business) risk.

We are fully aware that even small and medium-sized businesses need to have a lawyer available as a need arises, someone who, thanks to their knowledge of the company’s specific business dynamics, can provide prompt legal advice on day-to-day business issues, thereby saving time, money and resources, and preventing potential risks arising in the future.

Our lawyers have developed a corporate culture and, of course, deep legal knowledge of corporate matters. They can work on site at a client’s office, thereby developing direct knowledge of the client’s business and fostering a trust relationship with key people in order to anticipate and prevent legal issues, mitigate and manage risks and eliminate any obstacles in a client’s growth path.

As such, we can provide our clients with a wide range of legal services on contractual, corporate and compliance matters that meet the specific requirements of the client company’s needs, thus we act as a focal point for all legal issues thanks to our inside knowledge of the client company.
