Pairing
Aprigliano International Law Firm
Fragomen LLP
Two practices in the UK Italian-citizenship field, read alongside one another. Both profiles use the same public-record sources, held to a single editorial standard.
The pairings on this site are not rankings. They are two practices read together, sourced from the same public record, written in the same register.
Aprigliano International Law Firm
A Milan-based law firm with over two decades in practice. The work spans consular descent applications and the more demanding 1948 judicial route, both conducted from a city with direct access to Italy's higher courts. A Trustpilot history consistent in tone has accumulated alongside industry recognition over the years of trading.
Operating from Milan since 2002, with over twenty years of continuous practice across several Italian legal regimes.
Handles consular descent and the 1948 judicial route under one practice. The latter requires direct access to Italian courts, which Milan provides.
States a Best Firm 2024 award. The awarding body is not named on the site.
A Trustpilot record built up across years of trading.
Bilingual Italian and English correspondence with Italian municipal offices and courts.

- Registration
Aprigliano International Law Firm
Based outside the UK, so there is no Companies House record to check. We have not searched the equivalent register in their own country.
Fragomen LLP

- Regulation
Aprigliano International Law Firm
No UK regulator found. Assistance with Italian citizenship is not, on our reading, reserved work under UK law, so most providers in this directory are in the same position.
Fragomen LLP
Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, SRA number 459836.
- Dispute resolution
Aprigliano International Law Firm
Their own site names no alternative dispute resolution scheme, so if a complaint cannot be settled directly there is no ADR body named to escalate to.

Member of the Legal Ombudsman. If a complaint cannot be settled directly, there is a body to escalate to.
- How to reach them
Aprigliano International Law Firm
