Cross-Border Commerce & B2B Solutions

We act as the legal bridge for foreign firms entering the Italian market and Italian companies expanding into foreign jurisdictions. Establishing a commercial presence—whether through a branch or an *S.R.L.* (*Società a Responsabilità Limitata*)—requires compliance with the Italian Civil Code and the European harmonised framework.

We provide assistance throughout the lifecycle, from drafting the *Statuto* (Articles of Association) to final registration with the *Registro delle Imprese* (Business Register). Our practice focuses on International Contracts, assisting with distribution and agency agreements while providing oversight for Unfair Clauses (*clausole vessatorie* - Art. 1341) and the VAT (*IVA*) system.
