Since it was founded, the firm has combined its strong international vocation with a sound background in civil and business law, which is traditionally at the basis of all trade, in the belief that our clients are better served and protected when consistency with the relevant private law frameworks is achieved. So we combine our sound knowledge of business law with the expertise and experience of professionals who can assess disputes within the broader perspective of those frameworks and on the basis of case law.
Studio Iacangelo can represent its clients in all ordinary and special courts in Italy, in disputes involving civil law, commercial, corporate, banking and financial matters or in other areas of law in which the firm provides assistance.
In the pre-litigation phase, we focus on helping the client make informed decisions, also by comparing the costs and benefits of legal proceedings with other viable out-of-court options.
Advising and acting for businesses and market operators in major disputes, often involving foreign companies, entails effective planning and coordination capabilities and that is why we are so highly focused on organizational aspects (e.g. due diligence and investigation). The firm also has significant expertise in assessing the often highly complex implications arising from the simultaneous applicability of different legal systems, involving conflicting laws and conflicts of jurisdiction.
We act for our clients in all forms of arbitration regarding contractual disputes, whether it is “ad hoc” (non-administered) or administered by a specialised institution.
The firm’s professionals have a strong background in commercial arbitration, so we can act in even the most complex disputes.
In view of the fact that commercial arbitrations often feature the applicability of different legal systems, each with their own legal practices, provisions and frameworks, particularly common law systems, the firm’s experts include professionals who have completed a degree in law in those jurisdictions.
We advise in all key investment areas, more specifically the energy sector, the sourcing, distribution and maintenance of natural resources, major constructions and reclamation projects and the supply of heavy machinery.
The firm also has significant experience in matters associated with the application of international treaties, particularly bilateral and multilateral agreements aiming to promote and protect foreign investments.
