The Bongiorno Law Firm is led by its founder, attorney Giulia Bongiorno, and provides legal assistance and consultancy, including out-of-court services.
More specifically, it offers judicial and out-of-court advice in the fields of criminal, civil, and corporate law, assisting both individuals and legal entities, including Italian and foreign companies and corporate groups.
Each assignment is carefully tailored to the client’s specific needs, with the aim of identifying concrete and effective solutions.
Its areas of practice include traditional criminal law (ranging from common offenses, crimes against the person and against property, to crimes against the public administration and economic offenses), so-called preventive criminal law, international judicial cooperation (including, by way of example, extradition proceedings, European Arrest Warrants, European Investigation Orders, and international letters rogatory), as well as tax, civil, and corporate law.
With more than thirty years of experience in criminal law, attorney Bongiorno rigorously analyses each case, guides and coordinates the work of the various professional teams, and devotes the utmost attention to the regulatory and case-law developments relevant to each specific matter.
The Firm has consolidated experience in corporate compliance and handles the drafting, implementation, and updating of organizational, management, and control models pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 for both Italian and foreign corporate groups.
In the corporate sector, it provides assistance throughout all preliminary phases of asset acquisition or market entry (preliminary assessment, negotiations, corporate restructuring processes, relations with supervisory authorities and judicial bodies), as well as in the analysis of relevant contractual needs.
It participates in preventive due-diligence activities within private equity operations (large-market buy-outs, mid-market buy-outs, and growth-capital investments), as well as on behalf of public companies.
A department specifically dedicated to compliance, corporate law, and civil law assists clients with a cross-cutting and multidisciplinary approach, not only in matters of preventive criminal law, contractual and commercial law—closely linked to business operations – but also in areas such as civil liability, compensation claims, and the protection of reputation and personal rights.
