Personal, Family and Succession Law

The firm provides assistance across all areas of succession litigation, from the proper reconstruction of the deceased’s wishes to the validity of wills, the protection of forced heirs and inheritance claims. Particular attention is dedicated to advice on the preparation of wills, gifts and family agreements, especially in the context of complex family structures or substantial estates where the aim is to prevent future disputes as far as possible. The firm has also developed considerable experience in both judicial and out-of-court inheritance divisions and in the management of co-owned inherited assets.

The firm is frequently involved in proceedings concerning the recognition and challenge of personal status, where the need for certainty in family relationships must be combined with the protection of the financial rights of minors and adults, and where technically complex proceedings often require expert evidence. In these matters, the firm is able to draw on established relationships with highly qualified forensic genetics experts.

A significant part of the firm’s activity also concerns personal rights, particularly actions relating to defamation in the press and through digital media, for damage to reputation and image.

The firm approaches family law disputes combining civil and corporate law expertise with human and psychological sensitivity, favouring negotiated solutions whenever possible and seeking, through careful and empathetic listening, to help the parties move beyond a purely contentious approach.
