Other areas of liability treated concern the rights of the personality; the profiles of responsibility in corporate and commercial law, as well as carrying out activities inherently dangerous with plausible potential liability extended to collectivity.Inheritance law plays a leading role in our Firm. SINGULANCE offers advice and judicial and extrajudicial assistance in relation to Italian and international Inheritances succession, having gained extensive experience in judicial protection in matters regarding the inheritance; in the drafting of wills; in the acceptance and transcription; in the litigation on the validity of wills; in the distribution of assets; in the division of inheritance.The phenomena of globalization and the increasing movement of people out cross-border import the multiplication of inheritances with international character. SINGULANCE manages the most complex international inheritances, taking care of the relations between the different regulations in the countries affected by the succession.Corporate and commercial LawSINGULANCE provides legal assistance on commercial and corporate law to Italian companies (operating in Italy and abroad) and foreign companies (operating in Italy), during the incorporation and in any other stage of development.SINGULANCE has developed enviable experience, for example, in the drafting of shareholder’s agreements (parasocial agreements); in the drafting of national and international trade agreements; in the organization of joint ventures; in company’s reorganization; in the issuance of bonds; in the planning and structuring of mergers and acquisitions; in operations of atechnical acquisitions, made via transfer of share, performing if requested due diligence review of target operations; in the legal advice on corporate governance, on powers and responsibilities, internal and external to the company.SINGULANCE is often involved in setting up joint venture aimed at the management of public services; in the establishment of consortium, made up of associations of municipal companies of local authorities and private companies for the management of productive activities, like electric power production, water supply, waste management.In the field of commercial law, particular attention is paid to business contracts. The contract is the basis for the national and international regulation of the relationships Business to Consumer and Business to Business.Over the years we found that many of the contracts concluded even by large companies are “amateur”, not conformed to current legislation, characterized by an excessive burden or formulated in a way inappropriate to the satisfaction of the client’s real needs.An ill-managed negotiation whose result is the conclusion of contracts not “cut” on the client’s needs exposes it to underestimated significant risks.The increasing complexity of today’s corporate and business relations combined with the proliferation and variety of the national and international laws makes necessary the advice of professionals who are able to structure contracts not affected by nullity and ensure a thorough protection of the assisted client in dealing with counterparts (especially when the international agreement involves different legal systems), fully responsive to what the client needs.If so you should seek the assistance of professionals with navigate experience in negotiating and concluding contracts, no less important is the analysis of the contracts already closed without assistance.
This is the reason why SINGULANCE provides a sort of due diligence conducted on the contract concluded in the past, to new clients.The client will be made aware of their contractual situation in order that he can remedy the mistakes of the past.Due diligence includes, specifically, the analysis of the past contracts concluded by the client; the evaluation of the risks arising from the past contracts; a report regarding the remedies and contractual revisions, that can bring the trade relations in areas of legal certainty.Banking, finance and insuranceSINGULANCE has developed significant experience in insurance law, in bank and financial intermediation, in capital markets law, in restructuring operations.
