Consular District of Florence

The Florence Consular District consists of the Provinces of Arezzo, Bologna, Ferrara, Firenze (Florence), Forli', Grosseto, Livorno (Leghorn), Lucca, Massa Carrara, Modena, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato, Ravenna, Reggio Emilia, Rimini and Siena, as well as the Republic of San Marino.

Only Italian attorneys are permitted to practice before Italian courts or to give advice on Italian law. However, some American attorneys, who can act as legal consultants on American law, are included on the list.

The regulations of the Italian Bar Association do not permit lawyers to accept cases on a contingency or percentage basis. It is recommended, therefore, that fees be agreed upon in each instance before retaining an attorney.

Many of the functions performed by an attorney in the United States are handled by a notary in Italy. Notaries are public officials. They are required to have a law degree and usually handle such matters as estates and property transactions.

Although collection agencies do exist, collection of outstanding debts is handled by attorneys whenever litigation is involved. Reliable credit reports may be obtained through Italian banks or commercial reporting agencies such as Dunn & Bradstreet.

Italy is a party to both the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters and the Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters. American consular officers are prohibited by federal regulations (22 CFR 92.85) from serving legal process on behalf of private litigants or appointing others to do so, except in the case of subpoenas and orders issued by federal courts.

The American Consulate General in Florence assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms whose names appear on this list. The names are arranged alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. The list is divided by provinces, although Italian attorneys may practice in provinces other than those in which they reside. This list is not to be published since it is considered unethical in Italy for a lawyer to publicize his qualifications.
