Professional Regulation

As required by the Codice Deontologico Forense, we confirm that our Italian qualified lawyers are regulated in Milan by the National Council of Lawyers (Consiglio Nazionale Forense, CNF) and the local Bar Association (Ordine degli Avvocati).

The relevant professional rules which are applicable to our lawyers are the Codice Deontologico Forense.

Complaints Procedures

In Italy, the Consiglio Nazionale Forense considers the complaints issued against lawyers or other legal professionals through the local disciplinary committees (Consigli Distrettuali di Disciplina).

We are determined to ensure that all complaints are sensitively, sensibly and satisfactorily resolved. Please refer to our complaints policy here. The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution: https://.ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We do not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Professional indemnity Insurance

We maintain professional indemnity insurance cover as required by the Solicitors Regulation Authority of England and Wales Indemnity Insurance Rules 2013, on a world-wide basis with two Lloyds Syndicates: QBE Syndicate 0386, QBE Syndicate 1886 and Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance. Please refer to the General Counsel in London for further details of the insurance and how to contact the insurers.

In cases where professional indemnity insurance is required to be placed locally in accordance with statute or regulation, details of such policies can be provided upon request by the General Counsel in London.
