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.
Both practices serve the same end — Italian citizenship recognition for applicants in the UK. M. Bersani Law Firm works from Italy; Fragomen LLP from United Kingdom. The engagement model differs — tiered on one side, case-led on the other. The choice tends to come down to how the work is best framed for the specific case. SRA regulation falls on one side only; the procedural assumptions that follow — professional indemnity, formal complaints process — sit with that side.
Fragomen LLP
The world's largest immigration law firm. The London office sits at 95 Gresham Street, SRA-regulated, with the institutional infrastructure of a global practice built around corporate immigration. Italian citizenship by descent is one specialism within a portfolio that spans more than forty countries — useful when an application is part of a wider international mobility picture.
SRA-regulated, with mandatory professional indemnity insurance and a formal complaints pathway.
Operating from a Companies House LLP since 2006, with nearly two decades of continuous UK trading.
Physical London office at 95 Gresham Street, with in-person meeting capability.
Backed by a global firm operating across forty-plus countries — useful when a citizenship application sits alongside corporate or cross-border immigration matters.
