In a complex global marketplace with vanishing borders, Studio Legale Capecchi has developed creative legal solutions for clients both at home and throughout the world. Our office covers all the areas of the civil law practice, including commercial law, business law, intellectual property, family law, employment law, compliance, civil rights, personal injury, and car accidents. The office provides non-EU immigrants with specialized assistance in the application process for EU entry Visa, and for recognition of the Italian citizenship, “jure sanguinis” (i.e. based on your Italian ancestry), based on marriage, residence, for minors and for adults. In the event of a refusal of entry visa or citizenship, withdrawal or refusal of a residence permit, we help you in appealing the case. One unique area of support offered by our firm is in the case when the “Italian blood” is passed by a maternal ancestor (a great grandmother or a grandmother who was born in Italy and migrated abroad many years ago). These situations fall under the category of the “1948 exception” that restricts a foreigner to apply for citizenship directly at an Italian Consulate and requires the application to be brought before a national court in Italy. We offer specialized and professional representation before all of the national courts of Italy in the case of a “1948 exception.” As always, in the case of an uncommon refusal of the application, we help you to appeal the decision. In over 15 years of legal practice we have also represented defendants and victims of crimes in countless criminal trial
