Pairing
Lexidy Law Boutique
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.
Lexidy Law Boutique
A southern-European immigration practice with rooms in Milan, Barcelona, and Lisbon. Italian citizenship sits inside a broader portfolio that takes the diaspora context seriously: residency, visas, and cross-border relocation are handled by the same team rather than parcelled out. The firm trades on fixed-price proposals, a named advisor per case, and a stated 24-hour response window. A public review history accumulated over years of steady practice.
Offices in Milan, Barcelona, and Lisbon give the practice a physical footprint across the part of southern Europe most relevant to Italian-descended applicants.
Fixed-price proposals on a per-case basis, which suits applicants who want a defined fee structure before committing.
A 24-hour response window with a named advisor. A service standard most professional citizenship work does not formalise.
The team works across English, Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, practical for applicants whose document chain crosses multiple southern-European jurisdictions.
An established operation with a public review history accumulated over years of practice.
8 dimensions separate them on the public record. Everything else this directory tracks reads the same for both.
- Registration
Lexidy Law Boutique
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
Lexidy Law Boutique
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
Lexidy Law Boutique
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
Lexidy Law Boutique
Publishes email and phone as ways to reach them. Published on their own site, so it is checkable and it is what they hold themselves to.
Fragomen LLP
Publishes phone and a contact form as ways to reach them. Published on their own site, so it is checkable and it is what they hold themselves to.
- Pricing
Lexidy Law Boutique
Quoted per case rather than published. You will not be able to compare cost against anyone else here without contacting them first.
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
Lexidy Law Boutique
4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 1352 reviews.
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
Lexidy Law Boutique
3 of the services this directory tracks. Narrow enough to be a specialism, not wide enough to cover a whole case end to end.
Fragomen LLP
2 of the services this directory tracks. Narrow enough to be a specialism, not wide enough to cover a whole case end to end.
- Where they are
Lexidy Law Boutique
