International Trade

We advise Italian companies and international groups operating in global markets, delivering high-level legal support across a wide range of international trade matters.

Our practice focuses on the integrated handling of the contractual, regulatory, and operational dimensions of cross-border transactions.

We have long-standing experience advising clients in the machinery, production lines, and industrial plant sectors.

Our work includes support in tender and procurement procedures, the drafting and negotiation of international contracts (including EPC, EPCM, sales and service agreements, and supply chain arrangements), as well as advice on trade finance, international payment structures and guarantees, and related customs and tax issues.

We assist clients engaged in commodities trading, with a particular focus on soft commodities, the steel industry, and fertilizers. We provide legal advice on the contractual, regulatory, and operational features specific to these markets.

Our expertise includes the negotiation of key industry-standard contracts, including GAFTA, FOSFA, and INCOGRAIN forms, and the conduct of disputes before arbitral tribunals and national courts.

We advise on export controls and trade compliance, supporting clients in the assessment and management of export control regimes applicable to goods, technologies, and services, including dual-use items.

We also assist with the analysis, implementation, and ongoing monitoring of obligations arising from international sanctions regimes and trade restrictions.

Our practice further encompasses customs law and international trade regulation. We support clients across all industrial sectors in the management of import and export operations, helping them develop tailored international trade strategies aimed at ensuring compliance of trade flows and optimising supply chains.

Our work includes, inter alia, advice on tariff classification, customs valuation and origin of goods, EU trade regulations, as well as representation in dealings with customs authorities and in customs disputes.

La “Certificazione B Corporation” è un marchio che viene concesso in licenza da B Lab, ente privato no profit, alle aziende che, come la nostra, hanno superato con successo il B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) e soddisfano quindi i requisiti richiesti da B Lab in termini di performance sociale e ambientale, responsabilità e trasparenza.

Si specifica che B Lab non è un organismo di valutazione della conformità ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) n. 765/2008 o un organismo di normazione nazionale, europeo o internazionale ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) n. 1025/2012.

I criteri del BIA sono distinti e autonomi rispetto agli standard armonizzati risultanti dalle norme ISO o di altri organismi di normazione e non sono ratificati da parte di istituzioni pubbliche nazionali o europee.

“Certified B Corporation” is a trademark licensed by B Lab, a private non-profit organization, to companies like ours that have successfully completed the B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) and therefore meet the requirements set by B Lab for social and environmental performance,accountability, and transparency.

The criteria of the BIA are distinct and independent from the harmonized standards resulting from ISO norms or other standardization bodies, and they are not ratified by national or European public institutions.
