Lexmill is a Italian law firm specializing in international commercial law, namely in assisting companies and individuals in their overseas business operations and investments in Italy. The firm was established by Carlo Mosca in 1986, as one the first law firms specializing in international commercial law in the Northeastern Italy. Most of our activity relates to overseas operations put in place by Italian clients; however, we have also non-Italian clients who wish to be assisted in having their contracts with Italian commercial agents and distributors duly construed. Roughly half of our activity consists in drafting, and negotiating as the case may be contracts; the other half is in defending our client’s interest in courts, or in a arbitration, in Italy and abroad (of course, should the case is brought before a non-Italian court, we act conjunction with a local attorney). Roughly, half of our activity consists in drafting, and negotiating contracts; the other half in defending our client’s interest in litigation, arbitration, and/or in other ADR avenues, in Italy and abroad. Actually, these may be often considered as the faces of the same coins: drafting a good contract most of the time does help in better managing a future conflict.
