Representative Experience
*NOTE 1: Italy’s Code of Conduct for Lawyers, scrupulously enforced by the National Bar Council (Consiglio Nazionale Forense) with the active support of local bar districts, imposes strict limitations as to what Italian attorneys can share about their professional activity (in public, and even with clients in private). This is in stark contrast with otherwise common practices in, e.g., common law or certain Latin American jurisdictions.
