ABSTRACT
In recent years, given the rise of the globalized
digital economy and the increasing profile of multinational companies, the
practice of legal outsourcing has become more common. Outsourcing of legal
services often involves a parent or multi-national company retaining the legal
services of attorneys registered with bar associations different to the home
country of the parent company or client. As there are few internationally
registered attorneys who are fluent in Italian, this practice is less common in
the Italian legal system. At the same time, Italian multinational companies
and/or international law firms—may on occasion find
it necessary to outsource some or all of legal services. Additionally, Italian
law firms or attorneys may collaborate with legal professionals in other
countries on multinational client cases. This paper will outline the legal
decrees and ethical codes regulating the practice of legal outsourcing in Italy
and in so doing establishes how companies can do so in accordance with
international and domestic laws while ultimately serving client needs.
