Every year thousands of Americans acquire something in Italy — a company, a house, an inheritance, a new address, occasionally a lawsuit. Very few of them have any way to see how the Italian system will treat it. That gap is what this firm exists to close.
The founder
Avv. Alessandro Bonta is the founder and Managing Partner of Avvocati.Us LLC. He is admitted at the Rome Bar Association — Reg. No. A42354 and holds an LL.M. in International Law, Stetson University College of Law (Florida). He has practised Italian and international law for over twenty years.
The American degree is not decoration. It is why the firm's advice arrives structured the way US counsel and US clients expect it: the question answered first, the risk quantified, the recommendation stated. Italian legal writing does not naturally work that way. Ours does.
How we are organised
Italian lawyers are admitted nationally, so our reach is the whole country: a purchase in Palermo, a hearing in Trieste and an inheritance in Bari are all handled by the same team you first spoke to. Our offices in Rome, Milan, Genoa, Cagliari and in Washington, D.C. and Morrison, NJ exist so that there is always someone in your time zone and someone at the counter in Italy.
- A named lawyer on every file, reachable directly — not a case-management inbox
- Written engagement terms in English before any work starts
- Fixed or capped fees wherever the work allows it; success-linked terms in injury matters
- Documents delivered in English, with sworn Italian translations where the authorities require them
- Comfortable working under instruction from your US attorney, CPA or family office
What we will not do
We will not quote a property purchase before the title has been checked, promise a visa outcome the consulate controls, or put a number on an injury claim before the medical impairment has been certified. If a matter is not ours — because it is US law, or because another firm is genuinely better placed — we say so in the first call.
