Over time, we have continued to dedicate more and more resources to this type of assistance and we have dealt with many cases in other regions of Italy, such as Umbria, Marche, Lazio, Abruzzo, Puglia, Sicily and Sardinia.- Property for Commercial UseThe Firm assists real estate companies, investment funds, trusts and family offices in operations of a purely commercial or financial nature, such as spin-off, purchase and sale of land, industrial warehouses, offices, tourist complexes and hotels, farms.- Construction WorksAs a consequence of this specialisation in the field of real estate transactions, the Firm has acquired a significant experience in the sector of restoration and construction, offering our clients a complete assistance which extends to the carrying out of complex projects where it may be necessary to identify an appropriate corporate vehicle, assess the taxation impact, arrange financing and guarantees, check the application of the town-planning and security regulations, coordinate the contractual documents with the specifications of works and the technical specifications, resolve any disputes.BUSINESS TRANSACTIONThe Firm assists clients in the evaluation, as well as in the drafting and negotiation of both typical and atypical contracts, on both a national and international level, the most common of which are as follows:- commercial distribution, agency, franchising, brokerage, merchandising, consumer protection;- purchase and sale, supply of goods and/or services;- incoterms;- letters of credit, financing;- licensing or sale of copyright, patents, trademarks, research, transfer of technology;- electronic commerce, web sites, broadcasting, telecommunications, technical assistance;- advertising, sponsorship;- settlements. COMPANY LAWMergers and Acquisitions - The experience of the Firm includes both assistance to foreign clients for acquisitions in Italy and assistance to Italian clients for their investments abroad. Our capacity to assist clients on an international level allows us to deal with each aspect of complex operations which involve different jurisdictions from the preliminary stage of the letter of intent to the due diligence and also to the drafting and signature of the relevant acquisition contracts. The Firm has assisted, both in Italy and abroad, commercial and industrial businesses and financial institutions in the setting-up of companies, corporate joint ventures, "raggruppamenti temporanei di imprese" - including the negotiation of shareholders agreements and other types of contracts of collaboration between the parties - for the acquisition of private equity, assignment of businesses and corporate branches, allotments in kind and by shares.

In addition to advising on the principles of the Legge Merloni (law of 11th February 1994, n.109), the legge Antimafia (law of 19th March 1990, n. 55) and the legislative decrees on the excluded sectors (Legislative Decree 17th March 1995, n. 158), the Firm also takes care of the organisation of all the acts and documents necessary for the submission of tenders (call for tenders, invitation to tender, regulations) and also the creation of judicial structures (consortia, "riunioni temporanee di imprese", joint ventures) geared to fulfil the technical and financial conditions required by the contracting authorities.ARBITRATION AND ADRThe Firm has a strong disposition towards the diffusion and use of alternative dispute resolution and arbitration. Jacopo Monaci Naldini is a lawyer specialised in this field and is a member of the London "Chartered Institute of Arbitrators" and of a working group for the study of and training in extra-judicial instruments for the resolution of disputes, set up by the Chamber of Commerce in Florence ("Gruppo di Lavoro per lo Studio e la Formazione in Materia di Strumenti Extragiudiziali per la Soluzione delle Controversie"). He also lectures on arbitration at the same Chamber of Commerce. The lawyers of the Firm act as arbitrators, as counsels and manage the procedure for the recognition and enforcement of arbitration awards.LITIGATION AND DEBT RECOVERYAlthough the main activities of the Firm are of extra-judicial nature, we do undertake civil and commercial litigation for foreign individuals or corporations. The Firm, thanks to a large and well established network of contacts with professionals in other countries, also deals with debt recovery abroad for Italian clients and conducts debt recovery procedures in Italy for foreign businesses.WILLS AND INHERITANCEThe Firm advises foreign heirs who inherit assets in Italy. Also, the Firm regularly advises foreign citizens who wish to plan the correct mechanism for the succession of their assets situated in Italy.SPORT AND SPONSORSHIPJacopo Monaci Naldini has a remarkable background in the field of sports law. Since 1990, he has always renewed his driver's licence issued by the "Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme" (FIM) or by the "Federazione Motociclistica Italiana" (FMI) and in 1998 he obtained from the latter a diploma allowing him to act as a manager of the FMI, after having followed an in-depth course covering areas such as marketing and communication, sport management, training of athletes, judicial and legislative issues and justice in sport. Businesses, teams and sportsmen may therefore have recourse to the expertise of Jacopo Monaci Naldini in this sector and to his knowledge of both the technical and commercial aspects of the world of motor sports.
