Withers Worldwide

The opening of an Italian desk in 2005 enables the firm to offer fully integrated advice for foreign investors, businesses and families.  Our team works in close partnership with Italian law firms, other professional advisers and financial institutions.

With the Italian legal system based on civil law principles, rather than the UK and US common law, we are experienced at guiding clients through the issues this raises.

We can advise on a wide range of Italian legal issues covering areas such as Corporate, Employment, Real Estate and Litigation.

Italy has always been a country of choice for individuals seeking a home in the sun. The focus has been primarily on Tuscany but now extends to the Veneto Region, Puglia, the Marches and Sardinia.  Withers Italian Desk has established close relationships with local estate agents and surveyors in these areas and is in an excellent position to move quickly and efficiently with property acquisitions and sales.

The Desk also assists UK & US clients with any financing involved including liaising with private and institutional lenders in relation to mortgages and other financial arrangements relating to Italy.
