Withers Worldwide

Our Italian team has been advising Italian businesses and entrepreneurs for over twenty years. Offering English, Italian and US law advice through our bilingual lawyers, we deliver a comprehensive range of services. Members of the team are drawn from all our international offices, with London housing one of the largest groups of Italian speaking lawyers in the UK.

Over the years we have forged close links with a wide variety of Italian professionals in Italy. We frequently work alongside independent Italian law firms on corporate Mergers and Acquisitions transactions, involving investments into the UK and USA by Italian companies. Our inbound investment team has assisted numerous Italian companies on setting up in the UK. If problems occur we can help with Litigation and Arbitration matters, especially those involving cross border disputes between Italy and the UK.

In 1995 our Milan office was opened to make access to English and US law advice more convenient for our Italian based clients.

In 2005 we formed an Italian law desk in London offering Italian advice to US and English clients investing in Italy.  Avv. Roberta Crivellaro (a bilingual Avvocato/Solicitor) is the head of the Italian law desk.  A recent addition to our international team is Guy Facey, a corporate lawyer who is fluent in Italian, French and Mandarin.  Guy brings many years' experience in advising Chinese and Italian companies. Guy is based in our new Hong Kong office.

We are active members of Business Club Italia, British Italian Law Association, Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the UK, British Chamber of Commerce for Italy, American Chamber of Commerce in Italy, Italy-America Chamber of Commerce in New York and many other cultural and academic associations.
