Where they meet, where they differ

Both practices serve the same end — Italian citizenship recognition for applicants in the UK. Both operate from United Kingdom. The engagement model differs — specialist 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.
