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

Belfast-based — Northern Irish jurisdictional access for clients covered by the Edinburgh consulate.

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. 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.
