We were incredibly fortunate to be referred to Alessandro Clemente of the Clemente Law Firm when we purchased our property in Liguria, Italy. As Americans, we knew little about the Italian property-buying process and were more than a little apprehensive about it. Avvocate Clemente immediately put us at ease. Not only does he possess encyclopedic knowledge of Italian property law, but he communicates the relevant aspects of it in a calm, easy to understand manner. He recognized several important issues underlying a potential purchase instantly, and because of his acumen, prevented us from making a costly mistake.

He prepared our nonrevocable offer to purchase swiftly and accurately, providing us with English translations of all documents. He interfaced with our real estate agent and the Seller’s agent resolving technical problems associated with the property. He made himself exceptionally available to meet with us on Zoom or by phone on our schedule—even on a Sunday when he was out of town. Avvocate Clemente’s review of the final contract was comprehensive, and he did not approve it until every detail was accounted for.

Avvocate Clemente epitomizes what it means to be a fiduciary. There was never a question that he represented our interests to the exclusion of all others. He treated us with utmost respect, providing expert guidance on all issues (even employing humor when appropriate) but always emphasized that the final decisions were ours to make. In sum, one could not find a better lawyer to rely on than Alessandro Clemente when entering into an Italian property transaction.

We came across Clemente Law Firm on the Internet and had been following it for quite some time—almost as long as we had been searching for the right property for ourselves. From the very beginning, Alessandro presented himself in a highly professional manner. He suggested a call to explain the entire process and remained responsive and helpful throughout. Even at the very end, on the closing day, he showed up fully dressed in formal attire—despite the temperature being over 30°C. 😀

Many others have already mentioned Alessandro’s qualities, but there’s one more reason why having a trustworthy partner is essential when purchasing property internationally. These days, transactions are often completed remotely: you receive a bank account number, transfer the funds, and that’s it. You truly need someone you can trust—and Alessandro is that person.

Grazie mille per il tuo aiuto, Alessandro!

Early in our search to purchase a house in Italy, we became aware of Alessandro through Samantha Wilson, and by joining a video discussion with him where he shared detailed steps for successfully purchasing real estate in Italy. We found what we thought was the perfect house for us, however the transaction was complicated and required a very lengthy project to bring the house into compliance so that it could legally be sold.
Alessandro was a terrific advocate for us, and he helped us navigate through an unfamiliar process which involved many parties and regulatory requirements. We are happy to recommend Alessandro to anyone looking for professional legal guidance to navigate real estate transactions in Italy.

I was introduced to Alessandro by my best friend when I began my search for my first property in Italy. From start to finish, his expertise made the process smooth and reassuring. We explored two properties in Cervinia; although we decided against the first, Alessandro’s meticulous attention to detail during the second option—despite its complexities—gave us complete confidence in our decision. His dedication and skill truly stood out. I highly recommend Alessandro for anyone looking to purchase property in Italy.

To Future Property Buyers in Italy,
My wife and I recently fulfilled a long-held dream of purchasing a villa in North Italy. Throughout the entire year-long process, Adv. Alessandro Clemente provided exceptional personal assistance at every stage, including:
Guidance regarding applicable laws and regulations
Detailed due diligence
Contractual negotiations with sellers and agents
Deal closure
All activities were conducted with professionalism and to our complete satisfaction. As we do not speak Italian, Alessandro not only provided translations but also served as a strong and reliable bridge, helping us to better understand the mentality and business practices of our Italian counterparts.
We strongly recommend Adv. Alessandro Clemente’s services.

Alessandro played an invaluable role in the purchase of our Italian house. I had already begun the process, but quickly realized that I did not know the intricacies of purchasing Italian property…and unless you are an expert in such matters, there are many things that he will take care of for you that you may not even know are issues at all! (And could become problems later on).

He was meticulous with all the details, and on a number of occasions went beyond the call of duty to iron out issues that arose. I also thought that his flat fee rate was very fair, in light of the work that he does. He was a tremendous asset, and as I said to him in person: “We could not have done it without you!” Thank you, Alessandro!

His dedication, professionalism, and genuine kindness made what could have been overwhelming into an incredibly smooth and rewarding journey. We are deeply appreciative of his outstanding service.
