When to seek advice

This service is particularly useful before entering the Italian market, establishing a local presence or acquiring a stake in an Italian business. Early analysis helps define responsibilities and assess risks.

Our approach

We examine the home jurisdiction, proposed Italian activities, group structure and existing agreements. Options are assessed from tax, administrative and operational perspectives with specialist input where required.
