The Italian Litigation practice comprises sixteen professionals, based both in Milan and Rome. The team handles all phases and stages of litigation, including proceedings before the Supreme Court of Cassation, the Constitutional Court and independent authorities.
Our work includes the defence of mass tort and product liability litigation, complex commercial disputes (including supply chain disputes and disputes with distributors and commercial partners), shareholder and corporate disputes (including post-M&A litigation and D&O liability), insurance disputes, as well as contentious insolvency. We also advise clients in relation to pre-contentious matters, out-of-court settlement agreements and on jurisdiction and dispute resolution clauses in the drafting of various types of contracts.
Fully integrated within our international network, some members of the Italian team are part of the firm's Class Action Unit, a focused group of dispute resolution lawyers from the Hogan Lovells international network of offices with particular experience in handling (and advising on) class action cases. 
The Italian litigation department also comprises a team specifically dedicated to Investigations and Compliance.
