Pairing
M. Bersani 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.
M. Bersani Law Firm
An Italy-based law firm in practice since 2005, structured around a published flat-fee model that covers up to five family-line applicants under one engagement. The shape of the offering favours families applying together, and the firm's two decades of trading have spanned every recent shift in Italian citizenship law: from Sentenza 30/1983 through the Law 74/2025 reform.
Operating since 2005 with two decades of continuous practice through multiple legal regime changes.
Tiered structure built around family-line engagements, designed for the way most jure sanguinis cases actually arrive.
Italy-based, with direct access to Italian comuni and the courts that hear 1948 cases.
Handles consular descent, 1948 judicial cases, and standalone legal-only work.
Bilingual Italian and English correspondence.
8 dimensions separate them on the public record. Everything else this directory tracks reads the same for both.
- Registration
M. Bersani 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
Fragomen LLP, company OC324170, currently active, on the register since November 2006.
- Regulation
M. Bersani 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
M. Bersani 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.
Fragomen LLP
Member of the Legal Ombudsman. If a complaint cannot be settled directly, there is a body to escalate to.
- How to reach them
M. Bersani Law Firm
Publishes email and a contact form as ways to reach them, stated hours Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Italian time. Published on their own site, so it is checkable and it is what they hold themselves to.

- Pricing
M. Bersani Law Firm
Published on their own site, from £4,200.
Fragomen LLP
No pricing found on their site. Not unusual in this market, and not a criticism, but it does mean the cost is unknown until you ask.
- Independent reviews
M. Bersani Law Firm
We hold no rating for them, and no record of when anyone last looked, so read this as a gap in our data rather than a finding about theirs.
Fragomen LLP
2.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 7 reviews. A sample that small moves several points on a handful of reviews, so read the reviews rather than the number.
- Scope
M. Bersani Law Firm
3 of the services this directory tracks. Narrow enough to be a specialism, not wide enough to cover a whole case end to end.
