Legal support to business

We assist our Clients in drafting and negotiating national and international agreements. 

Our approach is focused on:

• attention in the definition of the contents of each agreement, with the aim of minimizing the margins of litigation during execution and/or interpretation by a judge;
• drafting of annexes to the contract (with the support of professionals in specific technical areas, where necessary), so as to obtain a coherent and detailed contractual structure;
• clarification, in the preliminary negotiation phase, of all pending issue, in order to avoid discussions or misunderstanding in the following phases of the works, and reduce timing and commercial costs which may be caused by different and contrasting interpretation of the agreement, and with a view to enhance collaboration and trust between the contracting parties.

Moreover, our services include:

• verification of specific business needs and drafting of general conditions or standard contracts;
• provision of specialistic opinions and advice on contractual requests and on draft proposed by counterparties or partners;
• support for the Client in commercial negotiations by participating in meetings with counterparties;
• support in the out-of-court definition of any disputes (active and passive) that may arise in the management of company operations.

We offer specialist assistance in corporate litigation and in domestic and international debt recovery, giving Clients complete legal support from the pre-litigation stage through to court proceedings where needed.
Our services in this area include: a preliminary analysis of the Client’s position and an assessment of the litigation risk, with an indication of the available strategies and their costs and timescales; management of the pre-litigation stage, through formal demand letters, payment reminders, repayment plans and settlement agreements; and assistance and representation in court should litigation arise.

We offer to our Clients legal ongoing assistance in international contractual negotiations, for commercial trades or for the provision of services of various nature; our services include participation and support in setting up a negotiation strategy, assistance in all phases of the negotiations and in the preparation of all agreements, up until the drafting of the final contract; we furthermore offer support in the following phases of management of the relationship with the counterparty. Our services of legal support and drafting are offered in English, French, and German.

We offer specific services to help our Clients in clearly defining the corporate governance structure, the corporate executive bodies, including support in defining the composition and the role and responsibilities of corporate bodies and the relevant information flows.

Our services in this area include: identifying corporate roles which need specific and formal appointments; identifying corporate roles with power and competence towards third parties, on behalf of the company, which therefore need specific proxies; examining job description in order to verify whether the competences required are compatible with the appointments, all in light of the Client’s internal dynamics; drafting of apposite templates of appointment, in full compliance with the Organizational, Management and Control Model, and with the best practices of the market; consultancy in the field of directors’ liability.

In managing its day-to-day activities, every company runs into a range of ordinary legal issues that often call for multidisciplinary input — with higher management costs and a greater dispersion of energies, which inevitably affect how quickly action can be taken. This is the scenario the Legal Desk service offered by netforLegaL is designed for.
It is a multidisciplinary legal assistance and advisory service whose availability and, above all, speed the Client can always count on. The service meets the need to outsource the handling of legal issues in less complex business contexts and can also be a valuable support to the in-house legal department in more structured organisations.
The involvement of a pool of senior professionals — organised by area of specialisation — allows the Client to capitalise on the advisory experience gained, ensuring constant regulatory updates in its sector. The multidisciplinary approach also delivers attractive economies of scale.
Our areas of work include:

• Assistance with corporate compliance (personal data protection, health and safety at work, environmental legislation, D.Lgs. 231/2001, healthcare regulation);
• Contract assistance (on both the sales and the procurement side);
• Drafting/review of legal and commercial correspondence;
• Legal assistance protecting intellectual property;
• Legal and technical/organisational assistance on the use of IT and digital tools;
• Legal assistance on marketing and communications;
• Credit management and debt recovery in Italy and abroad.

For each Client the service involves a “contact lawyer”, who coordinates the work and has an ongoing relationship with the company. The presence of this figure brings:

• A stronger relationship of trust with the Client;
• The progressive personalisation of the service, as knowledge of the company context steadily grows;
• The guarantee of a constant legal presence, which also plays a proactive role towards the Client.

As for how the service is offered, the methodology is that of a typical help desk: maximum freedom and flexibility for the Client to set upfront an annual budget for the initiative, so as to make the most of its economies of scale.
The expected result is to turn what has perhaps been perceived until now as the cost of regulatory compliance into an insurance policy — or an investment — in the peace of mind of doing things properly.
