Corporate Contracting

Lenzi Practice offers a complete consultancy service for businesses for the drafting of commercial contracts, both under Italian law and international law, and the stipulation and review of all corporate contracting.

The professionals at the Practice have developed great competence and experience in drafting corporate contracts such as, for example, trademark purchase contracts, agency contracts, supply contracts, distribution contracts, lease and transfer of business branch contracts.

The growing complexity in relationships between businesses and between businesses and private individuals makes it increasingly necessary to regulate business relationships in advance, in order to protect the company in case the contractual relationship with third parties evolves negatively.

A careful analysis and evaluation of the company's interests, followed by prudent negotiation, allows first of all to obtain for the client the most advantageous contractual conditions possible and, then, to avoid the risk of judicial disputes that can last for years with the consequent economic damage.

Debt Recovery

Debt recovery activity, especially in light of the widespread economic crisis, is a service of fundamental importance for the business, on which the survival of the company itself can sometimes depend.

In order to recover its debts, the company can rely on the Practice, which is able to provide adequate assistance to obtain prompt recovery of sums, resorting, where necessary, to the protection of the judicial authority.

Each debt of the company will be carefully evaluated in order to choose the most appropriate and effective action to obtain payment for goods or recovery of services provided. Lenzi Practice boasts in-depth experience in all issues related to debt recovery, both through judicial and extrajudicial means.

Thanks to the experience gained in this complex sector, the practice is able to offer its clients a preliminary analysis and objective evaluation of the possibility of debt recovery, to define the most suitable actions to achieve the objective, also considering the needs expressed by the Client.

E-commerce

E-commerce activity concerns more and more companies that may find themselves in the difficulty of having to respond to the Guarantor Authority or to their own Customers of various disputes related both to the online sales activity itself, and to the relationship with suppliers or e-commerce service providers.

Lenzi Practice offers complete consultancy both for Companies in the startup phase, and for continuous support of the activity.

Our modus operandi, thanks to professionals experienced in the matter, is professional and allows us to study with the Client targeted and specific solutions also in relation to the goods offered to the public, offering effective and economically advantageous solutions.

Civil Litigation, Arbitration, Mediation

By virtue of the professional experience gained, Lenzi Practice is able to resolve the legal issues of its clients in a rapid and effective manner, evaluating together with them the expenditure in terms of time and resources, based on the probability of success in judicial litigation.

For this very reason, Lenzi Practice operates with the aim of avoiding as much as possible the establishment of a long and costly civil process, adopting alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as direct negotiation with the counterparty and conciliation.

In case of failure of attempts at conciliation between the parties, the practice is able to assist businesses in the arbitration procedure (ex art. 806 cpc) which, thanks to the peculiarities of speed, efficiency and confidentiality inherent in the instrument, is preferable to judicial litigation, while having the validity of a judgment rendered by a Court.

For cases provided for by Law no. 98/13 converting Decree-Law no. 69/13, the path of recourse to the institute of civil and commercial mediation is also viable: an instrument that offers the possibility of resolving civil disputes, without the intervention of the Court, in short times and with reduced costs.

Banking and Financial Law

The protection of the company cannot disregard competent technical assistance in banking and financial operations, both national and cross-border.

Lenzi Practice supports client companies in managing litigation against banks and other financial subjects both in judicial and extrajudicial settings, offers its specialist consultancy and assistance.

Lenzi Practice provides its assistance for all Complaint, Conciliation, and Banking Financial Arbitration procedures, as well as before the Judicial Authority.

Business Crisis: How to Avoid It and Restart

Facing a business crisis is always a difficult moment, but it does not necessarily mean giving up or failing.

Today our legal system offers concrete instruments to overcome the crisis, save the business and restart. The secret? Intervene immediately, with the right assistance.

Thanks to the Business Crisis and Insolvency Code (Legislative Decree no. 14/2019), it is possible to manage the crisis intelligently, even before it becomes irreversible.

Industrial and Intellectual Property

Lenzi Practice deals with the protection of intellectual property rights and the protection of industrial property and works of the mind, both on the national territory and abroad, according to what is provided for by the "Code of Industrial Property Rights" (CPI), regulated by Legislative Decree no. 30 of 10/02/05, and by the homologous community and international laws.

The company assets subject to this protection are often intangible resources, which however prove crucial for the company's competitiveness in the market.

Corporate Law

Lenzi Legal Practice over the years has been able to deepen various topics also in the field of corporate law and in the financial operations of merger & acquisitions.

Consultancy activity, in the corporate field, is however not the exclusive prerogative of large industry. Even low-capitalisation companies and Italian SMEs can benefit from qualified legal consultancy on the multiple aspects of merger and acquisition operations, as well as minority and majority investments in share capital.
