Focus on
ADR
The Practice has always paid particular attention to the increasing spread and development of alternative techniques to resolve disputes: conciliation, mediation and, more generally, what is known as ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution).Currently, more than twenty Italian legal provisions prescribe its use and a recent EEC Directive recommends its adoption throughout the Member States. With legislation increasingly favouring conciliation, not only private individuals but both small and large firms need to acquire awareness and means of protection.
The Practice’s professionals, who in 1996 were amongst the first to deal with the topic in Italy, are able to offer specific, innovative advice, assisting clients not only with individual disputes but, more generally, in strategic planning of action in this field.
" Technical expertise in individual legal disciplines must always be backed up by thorough knowledge of the most appropriate procedural tools. Clients cannot be offered merely theoretical opinions but must also be supplied with the most effective mechanisms to protect their specific interests. "
