A highly respected and well known lawyer in both Italy and the U.K, Giovanni is also a partner in a successful law practice in Rome.

Background

• Official Lawyer for the Italian General Consulate in London since 2005.
• President of the A.M.I.C.O. Association (Italian Retired Army Forces)
• Member of the Italian Chamber of Commerce BILA (British Italian Law Association)

Prior to joining Lewis Nedas, he had a busy, well established law Practice in London with offices in the City and Surrey. Consequently, he has developed a long standing, wide and loyal client base in both the U.K and Italy.

Areas of Practice

• Business litigation - commercial debts, partnership/shareholder disputes;
• Company Commercial - including inward investment to the U.K/Italy, setting up businesses and partnerships, Financial Compliance for businesses;
• Crime and Extradition - including corporate investigations, money laundering, bribery and corruption and tax evasion;
• Family proceedings both in the U.K and Italy;
• Personal Injury litigation - all issues including medical negligence, accidents at work, accident and illness abroad;
• Property litigiation both in the U.K and Italy;
• Real Estate (property) both residential and commercial in the U.K and Italy - assisting both buyer's and seller's in both countries, commercial leases, etc.;
• Following the U.K's decision to leave the E.U, Giovanni has received countless enquiries from Italian investors seeking property investment in this country, taking advantage of the weakened sterling. Giovanni will guide any potential property investor through the system in this country, which is very different from the Italian property purchase system;
• Taxation disputes, investigations and disclosure both in the U.K and Italy;
• Wills, Probate and Trusts - including succession and inheritance disputes.

Again there are huge differences in the inheritance systems between the two countries and Giovanni can expertly guide and advise you in this area.

Giovanni helps British people with Italian descendants in the process for recognition and acquisition of the Italian nationality and the Italian passport by arranging for translation and legalisation of documents which need to be produced to the Italian Consulate. Save as for the above cases, Giovanni does not deal with immigration matters.

Additionally, he can draw upon the highly skilled team of lawyers here at Lewis Nedas, should a clients case demand a larger team for him to work with.

His very recent interview in Sky Italia discussing various justice issues drew a great deal of publicity. Watch the interview here.
