Pairing
My Lawyer in Italy
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.
My Lawyer in Italy
An Italy-based law firm with a focus on the 1948 judicial route to Italian citizenship — the path required where pre-1948 maternal-line descent is involved. A free first consultation establishes the case before broader engagement, and the practice covers consular and legal-only routes alongside the courtroom work.
A free first consultation lowers the barrier to initial eligibility assessment.
Specialises in 1948 court cases — the judicial route required for pre-1948 maternal-line descent.
Italy-based, with direct access to the courts and comuni that process these applications.
Covers full-service, legal-only, and consultation engagements.
Both practices serve the same end — Italian citizenship recognition for applicants in the UK. My Lawyer in Italy works from Italy; Fragomen LLP from United Kingdom. Both take broadly the same approach to engagement, framed as case-led. SRA regulation falls on one side only; the procedural assumptions that follow — professional indemnity, formal complaints process — sit with that side.
