With a consolidated experience in the field of Labour Law in litigation, De Luca & Partners regularly provides assistance to clients at all levels of justice and before all jurisdictions, civil and administrative, in its area of expertise.
De Luca & Partners pursues a philosophy which is oriented towards only dealing with litigation when it is appropriate from a strategic point of view and of real advantage to the client. We have a remarkably positive track record in the courtroom and that leads us to be able to define ourselves as an undoubtedly influential operator in the main court system.
This particular understanding of the dynamics of litigation and our habit of drawing comparisons with foreign representatives, has seen De Luca & Partners being considered as a reference point for non-Italian customers who have to realistically face the peculiarities of litigation processes in our country.
In addition, De Luca & Partners’ professionals – in view of the critical time constraints of many clients, especially international ones – have developed considerable expertise in arbitration matters, providing their assistance as defendants.
Again with regard to arbitration, the Shareholders of De Luca & Partners – precisely in light of their acknowledged expertise in the matter – are often called upon to act as arbitrators in disputes where their clients are not involved.
Partners and Associates of De Luca & Partners are always committed to achieving the clients’ objectives and avoiding litigation where opportune.
In any case, legal aid is a strong area of competence for De Luca & Partners.
