The firm has been providing advice in litigation and arbitration matters since its very foundation. Today we continue to do so, assisting private individuals, Italian and foreign businesses, multinationals and financial institutions in their civil, corporate, and commercial disputes.
We focus especially on matters relating to:
- Ordinary civil litigation in all relevant competent courts and before the Supreme Court
- Arbitration (institutional and ad hoc), with vast experience also as arbitrators.
In both civil litigation and arbitration, we place particular emphasis on the pre-litigation phase, where our aim is to enable clients to make informed choices by providing them with an accurate evaluation of risks, costs, and time-frames and, therefore, the benefits of taking a case though the courts as compared with out-of-court settlement options.
We have specific expertise and experience in dealing with disputes related to corporate law, post-acquisition controversies, commercial agreements (tenders, distribution, agency, bank and insurance contracts, unit-linked policies), insurance contracts, tort, product liability, class actions, antitrust, as well as real estate, insolvency, environment, inheritance, and asset protection matters.
We have an established reputation in both ordinary and arbitral international dispute resolution (we advise Italian and foreign clients in cases before foreign courts or arbitration proceedings where there is a strong element of Italian law) and in handling matters related to conflicting laws or jurisdictions.

“Irrituale” corporate arbitration * Italian law provides for two different kinds of arbitration proceedings: on the one hand, ‘regular’ (‘rituale’) arbitration, resulting in an enforceable award; on the other hand, ‘irrituale’ arbitration, whose award has the effect of a binding contract. The rules governing ‘irrituale’ arbitration, particularly ‘irrituale’ arbitration in corporate matters, present several gaps and inconsistencies. Nonetheless, it is a phenomenon of undeniable practical relevance. Indeed, about a quarter of the Italian companies articles of association containing an arbitration clause providing for ‘irrituale’ arbitration (as found by Assonime’s study no. 5/2017, L’arbitrato societario nella prospettiva delle imprese: in…

Not a ‘family’ business: enterprise or professional debts cannot be paid by the patrimonial fund constituted for the needs of the family IBA Litigation Committee Wednesday 4 August 2021 Maurizio Vasciminni Giada Russo Giovanni Gigliotti The matter of asset protection is growing in importance, especially for massive assets, since the Italian 2017 Budget Law introduced the so-called ‘flat tax’. The flat tax regime allows non-Italian resident high net worth individuals to transfer their tax residence to Italy to elect for a flat substitutive tax. The transfer of residence required for the application of the flat-tax regime has…
The new Italian class action legislation On May 19, 2021 the new Italian class actions legislation, originally introduced by Law no. 31/2019 at articles 840-bis et seq. of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure, came into force after a 13-month postponement due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The new legislation will only apply to facts happened after its entry into force; its most relevant features can be summarized as follows: the so-called ‘compensatory class action’ aims to seek compensation (or restitution) from business entities or public services providers for damages that their conduct caused to the class members.

ARBITRATION AND CONSORTIA The recent publication of two rulings issued by different national courts of first instance (Court of Civitavecchia, decision No. 2 of 7 January 2021; and Court of Brindisi, decision No. 22 of 5 January 2021) offers the opportunity to examine the ‘state of the art’ regarding the applicability of the corporate arbitration law to consortia (consorzi). Bearing in mind that art. 34, legislative decree No. 5 of 17 January 2003 indicates in the ‘companies’ the entities which are governed by the corporate arbitration law, the following question then arises: does the scope of application of the…
Arbitrato – Riscopriamo il compromesso Milano, 24 marzo 2020 – Arbitrato – Nella rubrica “Pillole di Arbitrato” Roberto Oliva continua a parlare del compromesso. Un arbitrato solitamente viene promosso perché era previsto, sin dall’inizio del rapporto tra le parti, che le eventuali controversie sarebbero state sottratte alla cognizione del Giudice statuale. Rara è invece la conclusione di compromessi, ossia di patti arbitrali conclusi a controversia già insorta. Roberto evidenzia come, nella situazione di emergenza coronavirus che stiamo vivendo, l’istituto del compromesso potrebbe consentire di assicurare la tutela dei diritti dei cittadini anche a Tribunali chiusi, come adesso sono chiusi, salvo…
ADR e arbitrato ai tempi del coronavirus Milano, 19 marzo 2020 – Nella sua rubrica “Pillole di Arbitrato”, Roberto Oliva, parla delle misure adottate dal Governo italiano per contrastare l’epidemia di coronavirus che avranno un sicuro impatto sul nostro sistema economico e produttivo e potranno far sorgere controversie tra parti contrattuali con contrapposti interessi. Roberto ricorda che un sistema, forse il migliore, per comporre queste controversie ed evitare che incrinino i rapporti commerciali è quello della mediazione: ne ha parlato pochi giorni fa Stefano Azzali della Camera Arbitrale di Milano in una bella intervista rilanciata da Legalcommunity.it pure ove non fosse possibile trovare una sistemazione amichevole, sottolinea Roberto, quella del ricorso al Giudice statuale non…
Milano, 3 marzo 2020 – Nella sua rubrica radiofonica “Pillole di Arbitrato”, il nostro Roberto Oliva continua a occuparsi del tema della formulazione della clausola compromissoria. Dopo aver trattato delle clausole per così dire patologiche, si sofferma oggi sul rimedio alla patologia: i modelli di clausole compromissorie proposti dalle istituzioni arbitrali. E per rendere più concreta la sua pur breve analisi, Roberto esamina il modello di clausola arbitrale proposto dalla Camera Arbitrale di Milano, recentemente modificato con l’entrata in vigore, il 1° marzo 2019, del nuovo regolamento arbitrale di tale istituzione (di cui, a suo tempo, aveva parlato qui: https://www.pavia-ansaldo.it/nuovo-regolamento-arbitrale-cam/ L’ultima puntata…
Arbitrato – La formulazione della Clausola Compromissoria Milano, 25 febbraio 2020 – Nella sua rubrica radiofonica “Pillole di Arbitrato”, il nostro Roberto Oliva, si occupa del tema della formulazione della Clausola Compromissoria, iniziando a esaminarlo da un particolare punto di vista: quello delle clausole per così dire patologiche, ossia quelle clausole che rappresentano esse stesse motivo di controversia. Roberto inizia il suo esame dell’argomento da un dato di estrema rilevanza, che forse però viene spesso dimenticato: la clausola compromissoria, secondo il nostro diritto processuale, può avere un contenuto estremamente semplice. Sarebbe sufficiente prevedere “Controversie: arbitrato”. Ogni specificazione ulteriore deve quindi essere volta a ottenere…
L’Arbitrato Amministrato (3) Milano, 18 febbraio 2020 – Arbitrato – Nella sua rubrica radiofonica “Pillole di Arbitrato”, il nostro Roberto Oliva prosegue l’esame dell’Arbitrato Amministrato, volgendo la sua attenzione all’estero e in particolare all’ICC e al suo regolamento di arbitrato. Ha così dato atto delle statistiche di questa istituzione, che la confermano tra le principali a livello mondiale, illustrando taluni dei motivi per i quali le parti possono scegliere (e preferire) un arbitrato amministrato dall’ICC nonostante possa essere più costoso di un procedimento amministrato da altre istituzioni. Approfondendo il tema dei costi, ha descritto la procedura accelerata, introdotta con il regolamento arbitrale entrato in vigore il 1°…
L’Arbitrato Amministrato (2) Milano, 11 febbraio 2020 – Arbitrato – Prosegue “Pillole di Arbitrato”, la rubrica settimanale del nostro Roberto Oliva su IUSLAW WEBRADIO.

Questa settimana ha iniziato ad affrontare il tema, che lo vedrà impegnato anche nelle successive puntate, dell’Arbitrato Amministrato. In particolare, ha esaminato la natura del rapporto tra le parti del procedimento e l’istituzione arbitrale e le ragioni di convenienza che inducono a scegliere l’arbitrato amministrato al posto di quello ad hoc: con riferimento alla composizione del tribunale arbitrale, alla verifica dell’indipendenza e della terzietà degli…

LA CASSAZIONE, CON SENTENZA N. 6319/2019, SI PRONUNCIA SULLE POLIZZE UNIT LINKED Milan, 20 March 2019 – La Suprema Corte ha affrontato la materia delle polizze unit linked – le cui prestazioni dipendono integralmente dall’andamento degli attivi sottostanti – nella recentissima sentenza n. 6319/2019, pubblicata lo scorso 5 marzo e probabilmente destinata a suscitare un vivo dibattito dottrinale nel prossimo futuro. Per un verso, infatti, la sentenza pare riconoscere che simili polizze vanno comunque trattate alla stregua di veri e propri contratti di assicurazione “anche ove sia prevalente la causa finanziaria”, dal momento che esse devono “comunque rispondere ai principi dettati dal codice civile” appunto…

LA CORTE COSTITUZIONALE SULLA COMPENSAZIONE DELLE SPESE DI LITE Milano, 23 maggio 2018 – Con la recente sentenza n. 77/2018 – destinata ad avere un rilevante impatto sulla materia delle spese di giustizia – la Corte Costituzionale ha nuovamente ampliato il potere del Giudice civile di pronunciare la compensazione delle spese di lite, abilitandolo a rendere tale pronuncia anche per “gravi ed eccezionali ragioni” ulteriori alle limitatissime ipotesi (beninteso, al di là del caso principe della soccombenza reciproca) che le riforme degli ultimi anni avevano delineato.
