English-speaking lawyers in Genoa

Genoa is Italy's largest port and a historic centre of shipping, insurance and trade. English-speaking lawyers in Genoa work daily with foreign shipowners, charterers, insurers and traders, and also with expats living on the Riviera.

Maritime law is central: cargo claims, ship arrests, charter party disputes and collisions. Logistics and engineering companies need contract and employment advice. Private clients buy apartments in the city or along the coast, where the notaio records the deed, and they deal with inheritance and residence permits. The Corte d'Appello di Genova hears appeals for Liguria. Hearings are in Italian, so foreign documents need a sworn translation.

Lawyers must be enrolled with the Ordine degli Avvocati di Genova, whose roll is public. Ask for a written estimate before work starts. Many firms also have offices in Milan, which helps on bigger deals. English-speaking lawyers in Genoa often draft shipping contracts under English law as well.
