We defend the interests of individuals and corporate clients throughout the country before all courts ruling on the merits and the Supreme Court, covering every type of offence. We cover criminal proceedings, with particular experience in corporate criminal law. We act in numerous trials for the liability of entities “ex crimine” within the meaning of Legislative Decree 231/2001.

We provide advice, where appropriate on an ongoing basis, to entrepreneurs and to major Italian and foreign Groups, in the framework of every aspect of criminal law legislation. We identify and avert crime-risks and we also prepare and update the “Compliance Programs” contemplated by Legislative Decree 231/2001, organising the internal system adopted by companies to ensure safety at work and protect the environment.
