When to get in touch
It's worth speaking with a lawyer about international matters in Turin whenever a case touches more than one country: an international child abduction (a child taken or kept abroad without consent), an offence with cross-border elements, or proceedings where different legal systems overlap. In international child abduction, timing is often decisive, so an early conversation helps you assess your position. Anna assists Italian and international clients in native English and Italian, to litigation standard and without a translation layer.
Frequently asked questions
What is international child abduction?
It arises when a child is taken to, or kept in, another country without the other parent's consent or against a custody order. On the civil side many cases fall under the 1980 Hague Convention, which favours the child's prompt return, and there can be a criminal dimension too; each situation has to be assessed on its facts.
In an international child abduction, how important is acting quickly?
Very. Return procedures place weight on timing, and as a rule the passing of one year from the wrongful removal can affect the court's assessment. It's therefore best to seek advice as early as possible.
Do you handle cross-border legal matters in Turin involving more than one legal system?
Yes. Anna handles cross-border matters involving more than one legal system, where questions of jurisdiction and applicable law can arise, with coordination where needed.
Which offences with international elements do you handle?
Among others, international child abduction and international drug trafficking, as well as criminal proceedings with elements that cross national borders.
