The founders
The 'Novolegal.it' project is the result of a collaboration between four experienced lawyers: Alessandro Fusco, Anna De Padova, Raul Scaffidi Argentina and Stefano Brustia.
The founders of 'Novolegal.it' have significant experience in distinct and synergistic areas of law and have chosen to join forces to create an innovative law firm designed to respond effectively to the complex challenges of today's market.
Our strength lies in our agile, horizontal structure, which enables clients to communicate directly with their lawyer. This organisational efficiency enables us to provide high-value legal solutions at competitive prices.
We can handle complex, highly specialised legal issues and guarantee a level of expertise comparable to that of large law firms, while offering the flexibility and personalised attention that only a firm like ours can provide.
Alessandro is admitted to practice before the Italian Supreme Court and has over 25 years of experience in civil litigation. His practice is centered on disputes involving commercial matters (commercial litigation, unfair competition, debt collection), real estate (contracts, sales, defects and non-conformities, condominiums), and civil liability (medical liability, major accidents, etc.).
Admitted to practice before the Italian Supreme Court, Anna has been resolving complex legal issues for over twenty years. She currently focuses primarily on family law, distinguishing herself through her ability to combine empathy and strategic acumen when managing separations, divorces, and inheritances. Her solid foundation in corporate and commercial law, gained at a leading law firm, gives her a unique advantage in dealing with the most complex financial issues.

Our approach to client relations
It is common practice for law firm websites to include reviews, star ratings, and direct testimonials from clients. This page does not contain any of the aforementioned information. Our choice is not only ethical, but also strictly complies with the Italian Code of Conduct for Lawyers (Codice Deontologico Forense). Article 35 explicitly prohibits Italian lawyers from disclosing the names of their clients, even if the latter agree.
The legal profession in Italy is founded on a fundamental principle of professional secrecy. This prohibition exists to ensure the dignity of the profession and to prevent the selection of defense counsel from being influenced by commercial considerations ("who has defended") rather than actual technical competence ("how they defend").
Each case is unique, and each client has specific needs. For this reason, our professional approach always begins with attentive, professional listening. We will commit sufficient time to comprehensively understand your case, your requirements, and your objectives. After conducting a thorough analysis of your situation and understanding your requirements, we will provide you with a comprehensive quote. This approach ensures transparency and clarity from the outset, providing clients with a comprehensive understanding of the costs associated with our professional services.
