We are pleased to announce that “The Legal 500: Litigation Country Comparative Guide” is now live. The British publisher is known for its guides analyzing the market of legal services that it has been publishing since 1990.
Unlike those guides, the Litigation Country Comparative Guide deals with the law, not the lawyers. It focuses on the practical issues affecting business. Written with clients in mind – both in-house lawyers and senior management – the purpose of the guide is to provide its readers with a pragmatic overview of the law and practice of litigation and dispute resolution across a variety of jurisdictions (among which Germany, Hong Kong, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, UAE, United Kingdom and the USA).
The Guide explains, for example, what are – in each of those jurisdictions – the main methods of resolving commercial disputes, what are the main procedural rules governing commercial litigation, how long does it typically take from commencing proceedings to getting to trial, what are the typical limitation periods, how to institute proceedings and to determine jurisdiction, what are the interim measures available, to name a few.
The Litigation department of Zunarelli – Studio Legale Associato has authored the Italy section, which can be read free of charge at http://www.inhouselawyer.co.uk/practice-areas/litigation-dispute-resolution/italy-litigation-dispute-resolution/
