Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

1) Property search, screening, and selection support

Translated business/personal requirements into clear selection criteria (location, use, budget, risk profile, timing).
Advised on neighborhood/zone suitability and practical constraints (access, services, intended use, typical contract norms).
Reviewed listings and options with a legal lens to flag early red flags (ownership issues, unrealistic terms, missing documentation, agent credibility).
Helped shortlist properties based on legal feasibility + commercial rationale, not just aesthetics.

2) Negotiation strategy and counterparty management
Led/structured negotiations with vendors/landlords and interfacing real estate agents, keeping discussions focused on enforceable terms.
Drafted/reviewed negotiation points covering price, deposits, contingencies, timelines, penalties, representations, and exit clauses.
Managed communications to avoid misunderstandings and ensured the counterparty’s promises were captured in writing.

3) Due diligence and risk assessment
Conducted / coordinated due diligence to validate:

Title/ownership legitimacy and right to sell/lease.
Key contract terms and liabilities (encumbrances, unusual restrictions, service charges, renewal/termination conditions).
Document completeness and compliance items (permits/authorizations where relevant).
Identified credibility and behavior risks: assessed counterparties for reliability and good faith during negotiations.
Escalated risks early with clear recommendations (proceed / renegotiate / walk away).

4) Tax and structuring considerations (business + personal)
Assessed how different locations and deal structures could affect company taxation and personal taxation, including exposure triggers and compliance expectations.
Flagged scenarios that could cause unnecessary tax leakage and recommended alternatives to reduce avoidable burden.
Coordinated the “Italian reality” with the “American reality” so decisions were aligned across both worlds.

5) Signing and closing process leadership
Ran the end-to-end signing workflow:

Document preparation, review cycles, version control.
Coordination between parties (seller/landlord, agents, notary if applicable, and any other professionals).
Ensured signatures, annexes, IDs, and filings were executed correctly and on schedule.
Ensured closing conditions were satisfied before committing funds or taking irreversible steps.

6) Immigration and personnel requirements
Advised on immigration-related requirements linked to company personnel (practical constraints, documentation expectations, risk points).
Helped align property decisions with operational needs for staff mobility and compliance.
Key deliverables (summary)
Shortlist & screening notes: structured evaluation of potential properties, including legal/practical red flags.
Negotiation playbook & term positions: recommended offer/counteroffer structure and “must-have vs nice-to-have” terms.
Due diligence findings: risks, required documents, and go/no-go recommendation.
Tax impact overview: location/structure implications for business + personal taxation; actions to reduce avoidable exposure.
Final contract package: reviewed/negotiated agreements, annexes, signing instructions, and execution checklist.
Immigration/personnel guidance: requirements and practical steps tied to relocation/operations.

Outcome achieved
Identified a high-quality location at a great price.
Dismissed an untrustworthy landlord before it became an expensive mistake.
Achieved strong price/term negotiations through disciplined leverage and clean documentation.
Avoided unnecessary tax exposure (including federal tax pitfalls) by addressing structure and location implications early.
Delivered a process that was fast, proactive, and low-friction, with no surprises at signing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Concrete results: we identified the right location after screening several options, negotiated improved terms, and rejected an untrustworthy landlord before signing. Due diligence was completed before any irreversible commitments, the signing process was handled end-to-end without drama, and the final approach avoided unnecessary tax exposure in a cross-border Italian–U.S. context.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management and delivery
Michele ran the work like a proper project: clear sequencing, tight coordination, and no surprises. Key steps (screening, negotiation points, diligence, document iterations, signing) were managed end-to-end, with sensible timelines and fast turnarounds.

On-time delivery
Deliverables were provided on time and, more importantly, ahead of the moments that mattered ). He kept the process moving and didn’t let external parties’ delays become our problem.

Responsiveness and handling our needs
He responded quickly and in a way that actually reduced workload on our side:

Proactive: surfaced risks and next steps without being asked; pushed counterparties when needed.

Communication: clear, concise, and consistent updates.

English skills: fully comfortable in English, which eliminated misunderstandings and made complex points easy to act on.

Deep understanding of our needs: aligned the legal work with our real objectives (speed, certainty, risk control, and economics), not just “getting a contract signed.”

Strong legal expertise across Italian + U.S. context: understood how choices in Italy can create knock-on effects for a U.S.-linked client, and guided decisions accordingly.

Honestly, very little. If I had to suggest anything, it would be more standardized status updates and an upfront checklist to make an already smooth process even more transparent—especially for cross-border clients

We are a property management company investing in rural Italy, and ILF has been an essential partner in every phase of our acquisitions in Tuscany and Umbria. Their real estate team guided us through complex due diligence, zoning checks, agricultural compliance and all the legal steps needed to convert traditional country properties into thriving agriturismo projects.

From our first exploratory call to the final signature, the lawyers were clear, precise and always available to explain each detail in a way that made sense for an international operator. They coordinated smoothly with notaries, surveyors and local authorities, anticipating issues before they could become problems and ensuring that every document was correct.

What stood out most was their practical understanding of the rural hospitality sector. They not only handled the legal work surrounding purchase agreements, land classifications, and building rights, but also advised us strategically about viability, timelines, incentives, and regional requirements. That insight has saved us time, money and stress.

ILF is professional, responsive and genuinely invested in their clients’ success. We would not hesitate to recommend them to any foreign investor or hospitality company seeking reliable legal support for real estate and agriturismo projects in Italy.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Completion of full legal due diligence on each property, with all critical issues identified, resolved or contractually covered
• Successful negotiation and signing of purchase agreements within the expected timelines
• Verification and confirmation of land classifications, building rights and agricultural constraints with local authorities
• Clearance of cadastral and urban planning discrepancies before closing
• Securing all required documents for notarial completion without postponements
• Cost savings achieved through accurate contract revisions and avoided penalties or hidden liabilities

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I sought the expertise of Italy Law Firms (ILF) to manage the legalities and taxes related to my properties and their rental activities in Lucca, Italy. Michele Ambrogio and his accomplished team provided invaluable assistance, focusing on areas such as contract law, strategic planning, and optimizing my tax obligations, a task particularly intricate given my dual citizenship.

Their tailored approach not only ensured compliance with Italian legal and tax frameworks but also enabled me to make informed decisions that align with my financial goals and residency status. By addressing both local regulations and international considerations, they have transformed what seemed like a complex challenge into a seamless experience.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

One significant achievement was ensuring full compliance with Italian laws, including the formalization of rental contracts that adhered to local regulations. This created a strong legal foundation for the properties and their management.

In the realm of taxation, the project delivered measurable benefits by strategically reducing tax liabilities. Through careful planning and leveraging benefits tied to dual citizenship, it was possible to achieve financial efficiency without compromising legal obligations. Tax declarations were filed promptly and accurately, eliminating the risk of penalties and maintaining transparency with both Italian and international tax authorities.

The management of property-related finances also improved significantly. The project brought operational improvements that simplified day-to-day activities. Tenant agreements and maintenance processes were streamlined, making management more efficient. Additionally, strategic insights from the team supported decisions that enhanced property value, such as renovations or repositioning in the rental market.

The collaboration provided not only immediate benefits but also a robust framework for sustaining legal and financial stability in the future. This holistic approach reflects the success of the project in aligning legal, financial, and personal objectives.
