Pairing

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

alongside

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.

Augusto Scerrato, Italian avvocato qualification combined with IAA Level 1 accreditation in the UK regulatory framework for immigration advice.

Where they differ

6 dimensions separate them on the public record. Everything else this directory tracks reads the same for both.

Registration

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

No Companies House registration found. That is consistent with a sole trader or a partnership, neither of which files there, so it is a gap in the record rather than a finding against them.

Fragomen LLP

Fragomen LLP, company OC324170, currently active, on the register since November 2006.

Regulation

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

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

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

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

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

Publishes phone as a way 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

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

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

Avv. Augusto Scerrato

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.
