Litigation, Arbitration and ADR
The Firm provides qualified assistance to national and international clients in complex civil and commercial disputes, at various levels of jurisdiction, including High Courts and in arbitration, especially regarding corporate, commercial, bankruptcy, banking and financial disputes. Over time, the Firm has become an expert in disputes concerning and arising out of national and international commercial contracts, acquisitions of shareholdings and business units, corporate relations, as well as in disputes relating to the liability of corporate bodies, including in bankruptcy proceedings, and in disputes pertaining to general civil liability.
The consolidated experience in banking and financial intermediation, bankruptcy, commercial and corporate litigation, including contractual and non-contractual liability actions, allows us to offer clients comprehensive assistance in both pre-litigation and litigation phases.
In rendering its services, Giovanardi Studio Legale prides itself on liaising closely with its clients and in-house general counsels in all matters thus enabling it to make an informed assessment of the risk, the litigation management strategy and the manner of conducting the disputed relationship, including the attempt to reach a negotiated settlement and as well as drafting legal opinions and closely collaborating with the technical experts appointed in litigation proceedings.
The Firm has extensive know-how in litigation proceedings pertaining to financial transactions, factoring, leasingand securitisation contracts, for which it handles all matters, whether contentious or non-contentious, with a view to obtaining to best valuation of receivables. In all cases the assistance extends to the pre-litigation phase, by examining the documentation and assessing the possible outcomes of the proceedings, also with a view to finalising and settling the dispute through recourse to possible alternative dispute resolutions, where circumstances so warrant, and to the post-litigation phase, through the drafting of court or out-of-court settlement or conciliation agreements and assisting in their implementation.
Partly due to the experience gained by one of its members as an arbitrator at the Chamber of Arbitration of Milan, Giovanardi Studio Legale continuously renders assistance by supplying its professionals as legal counsel for parties or as arbitrators, including as chairman, in domestic and international arbitration proceedings, principally in relation to corporate, commercial, contractual, banking and financial litigation, procurement, investment, as well as in civil liability cases.
