Hello

I'm Alfredo Esposito

English-speaking lawyer Italy

My path to the legal profession was an unexpected yet natural evolution.

I began with international studies and business, drawn to global markets and cross-cultural communication. Over time, I became increasingly interested in the legal systems behind international transactions and the challenge of bridging linguistic and cultural gaps.

After qualifying as a lawyer in Italy, I gained experience in abroad with both local and international clients, developing a solid understanding of the legal complexities businesses and individuals face when operating across borders.

I now focus on international law and emerging technologies law, combining legal expertise with a global mindset.

Through my firm, I assist English-speaking clients with interests in Italy—whether it’s drafting contracts, resolving disputes, buying property, or providing strategic legal advice. My approach is clear, precise, and tailored to each client’s unique context.

My goal is to make Italian law accessible, transparent, and effective—so clients can move forward with clarity and confidence.
