Enforcement of foreign rulings in Milan
​Dimarco and Partners International Law Firm
Our Lawyers in Milan are specialized in enforcing foreign rulings in the whole italian territory. Once the ruling is obtained in another country it is important to follow correctly the procedure of enforcement in Italy correctly and to finalize the activities of debt collection in Milan. Our Law firm enforces foreign rulings, European orders of payment or foreign orders of payment or judgements.
In Italy the enforcement differs from many other countries, as the role of the lawyer is very important. It is the lawyer promoting all the executive actions and not the bailiff or the sheriff as in many other european countries.
We provide a methodological approach to the enforcement of foreign rulings in Milan, concerning unpaid invoices, corporate obligations or alimony obligations. Our lawyers in Milan, before starting the enforcement, they analyze the debtor and the possibilities to bring a positive result to the Client. Our methodology to recover a credit  is the following one:
  • Analysis of the debtor in Milan and his assets (properties, bank accounts or other goods);
  • Verification of the international or european convention to apply for the specific obbligations regarding the debtor in Milan;
  • Translation of the ruling and of all the documents into italian;
  • Exequatur procedure in  Milan, in front of the Court of Appeal if necessary;
  • Enforcement against the debtor located in Milan on real estates, goods, on the bank account or on third creditors.

Our Law Firm can provide the enforcements in the whole italian territory thanking to the netwok we built during the years in Italy. We offer a professional and accurate service, assuring the trasparence of the costs and a periodical update to the Client.
We look forward to cooperate with you.
FAQ
1. Do I need to hire a Lawyer to enforce a local or foreign judgement?
Yes, the activities of enforcement are made exclusively by lawyers. It is not possible to provide the enforcement personally or through an agency.
2. In order to enforce do I need to hire a local Bailiff in Milan?
In Italy we don't have private bailiff, the notifications are made by the court. So the answer is no.
3. Is there a unic procedure to enforce goods, bank accounts or real estates belonging to the debtor?
When we start an enforcement we need to choose what we want to enforce. There are different procedures and different court fees for any kind of enforcement (on goods, on banks or on real estate). Every kind of enforcement is a different procedure. But, for example, if the debtor has 5 different bank accounts, we can enforce them with a unic procedure.
4. Are the fees and court fees needed for the enforcement refunded by the debtor in case of positive collection of the credit?
Yes, normally all or almost all the fees are reimbursed. 
5. I want to enforce a bank account of a debtor located in Milan. How long does it take?
The enforcement itself it is quite fast. Once that we have all the documentation in our hands we may take 2-3 weeks, depending on the time needed by the court for the notification of the deed we will prepare. Then of course it would be required to wait for the court hearing to have the amount seized assigned by the judge (30-40 additional days on average).
