European Civil Procedure and Conflict of Laws

European civil procedure and private international law form the foundation for the legally secure resolution of cross-border private law disputes within the European Union. They determine which court has jurisdiction, which law applies, and under what conditions judgments and decisions are recognized and enforced in other Member States. Central to this framework are, in particular, the Brussels I Regulation (Recast) as well as the Rome I and Rome II Regulations, which together create a coherent system for determining international jurisdiction and the applicable law.

In my practice, this area of law plays a central role, as German-Italian matters regularly raise questions of international jurisdiction, choice of law, and the enforceability of judgments in both legal systems. This may involve civil and commercial disputes, corporate conflicts, inheritance proceedings, or the cross-border enforcement of judgments.

With dual admission to practice in both Germany and Italy, I ensure the practical application of these European rules and represent clients in proceedings before both German and Italian courts. My objective is to make full use of the advantages of the European legal framework in order to achieve efficient, legally secure, and client-oriented solutions – even in complex cross-border cases.
