Studio Legale Sarappa was established in 1947 by the late avv. GiovanniAntonio Sarappa who focused his activity on the branches of property law and inheritance law. As from 1981, his daughter, avv. Anna Sarappa, became an associate (currently she is the main partner) of the firm. Anna, on the one side, assisted her father in his sectors, on the other, acquired several specializations in the fields of Family Law, Property Law, and Inheritance law, even with regard to the relationships between Italians and Americans (especially those living in New Jersey and New York), focusing in particular on divorces, separations, successions and the legal protection of property rights.
Nowadays, the “Studio Legale Sarappa” is a professional association between avv. Anna Sarappa and his sons, avv. Vincenzo di Lorenzo Sarappa, who joined the firm in 2011, and avv. Gianpiero di Lorenzo Sarappa, who joined in 2012.
The former, having completed his post-academic education abroad, has acquired expertise in Common Law contracts and cross-border successions and consequently practises his profession within the branches of property law, inheritance law and contract/commercial law. Besides, through practice, he has acquired managerial skills in managing and controlling real estate.
The latter has decided to persist in the sectors in which avv. Anna Sarappa has shaped her reputation, id est Family Law and Property Law. Nevertheless, he has expanded the area of interests that the firm can handle by attending specialist courses in Environmental Law, even with regard to the European legislation. Furthermore, he works closely with his brother in managing real estate.
The three partners of the firm, each with reference to their own specialization, deal with domestic issues mainly, but, due to the good relationships kept in the USA and within the EU borders, the share of international issues handled by “Studio Legale Sarappa” is increasing and growing year per year, especially in the fields of family law, cross-border successions and contract law.
The firm has strengthened its international relationships due to the fact that Vincenzo di Lorenzo Sarappa in 2014 and his brother Gianpiero in 2017 joined the International Association of Young Lawyer (AIJA) which also offers the possibility of attending interesting and outstanding courses in several branches of Law, having a particulars regard to the new trends related to the globalization and AI.
Furthermore, Vincenzo and Gianpiero in January 2018 joined the Academy of European Law (ERA), an association which gives the opportunity to strengthen the network within the EU and acquire knowledge through the courses it offers.
Considering the importance of real estate in the Italian family economy, the Firm has always placed great emphasis on its protection and enhancement, both in judicial phases (e.g., actions against neighbors, condominium actions, boundary regulation actions, urgent actions against ongoing works by others that are feared to cause harm, etc.) and out-of-court, also dealing with issues related to the purchase/sale, management, and generally the circulation of properties in Italy and abroad, particularly in the EU, USA, and Mediterranean Africa (e.g., preliminary purchase contracts, rent-to-buy agreements, leases, condominium or super-condominium regulations, etc.).
Considerata l'importanza della proprietà immobiliare nell'economia familiare italiana, lo Studio ha sempre prestato grande attenzione alla sua tutela e valorizzazione, sia nella fase giudiziale (es. azioni contro il vicinato, azioni cd. condominiali, di regolamento di confine, di urgenza contro le opere altrui in corso di realizzazione che si temono possano arrecare pregiudizio etc.) che stragiudiziale, occupandosi altresì di questioni connesse all'acquisto/cessione, gestione e in genere circolazione di immobili in Italia e all'estero, in particolare UE, USA e Africa Mediterranea (es. contratti preliminari di acquisto, rent to buy, locazione, regolamenti di condominio o supercondominio etc.)
In addressing family law matters, the Sarappa Law Firm prioritizes the pursuit of amicable resolutions between the parties involved, whenever feasible and appropriate given the specific circumstances. We employ negotiation, mediation, and collaborative law methodologies to minimize judicial litigation and facilitate timely, satisfactory outcomes that prioritize the best interests of the family and children.To this end, the Sarappa Law Firm offers comprehensive assistance across all facets of Family Law, encompassing both judicial proceedings (e.g., separation, divorce, guardianship) and extrajudicial matters (e.g., managing family crises, promoting reconciliations, negotiating separation agreements, divorce settlements, maintenance arrangements, etc.).
Nell'affrontare questioni connesse alla famiglia, lo Studio Legale Sarappa privilegia la ricerca dell'accordo tra le parti, per quanto possibile e consentito dal caso specifico, utilizzando i metodi della negoziazione, della mediazione e del diritto collaborativo, nell'ottica di limitare il contenzioso giudiziario, e di pervenire ad una soddisfacente definizione dei procedimenti in tempi brevi. Ciò sempre alla luce dell'interesse primario della famiglia e della prole. A tal fine, lo Studio legale Sarappa offre assistenza su tutti i profili connessi ed annessi al Diritto di Famiglia sia in ambito giudiziale (es. separazione, divorzio, amministrazione di sostegno) che in ambito stragiudiziale (es. contemperando crisi familiari o favorendo riconciliazioni, intercedendo per accordi di separazione, divorzio, mantenimento etc).
The Firm provides comprehensive assistance in every aspect and topic related to succession profiles, both within judicial proceedings (e.g., challenges to wills deemed unfair, donations presumed to be simulated, or actions believed to infringe upon one's rights) and through extrajudicial means (e.g., mediating to reach an agreement on the division of inherited assets). The Firm also offers consultancy services for acts aimed at protecting assets and/or preventing disputes among heirs (such as wills, donation deeds, division agreements, trusts, family pacts, etc.).Particular attention is also given to the protection of an individual's digital assets (including email, accounts, online banking, PayPal, cryptocurrencies, and personal belongings related to one's private sphere, such as photos, images, stories, videos, etc.), with the understanding that the expression of self is manifested not only in tangible actions within the real sphere but also in the intangible aspects of the digital world. Succession issues are addressed in both domestic and international contexts, with a particular focus on European matters.
Lo Studio offre piena assistenza in ogni aspetto e tematica connessa ai profili successori, sia nell'ambito di giudizi (es. impugnazioni di testamenti reputati iniqui, atti di donazione che si presumono simulati o che si ritiene ledano i propri diritti) sia in via stragiudiziale (es. mediando ai fini di un accordo di divisione sul patrimonio ereditato) prestando altresì attività di consulenza per gli atti finalizzati a proteggere il patrimonio e/o a prevenire controversie tra i successibili (testamenti, atti di donazione, atti di divisione, trust, patti di famiglia, etc.); particolare attenzione è data anche alla protezione del patrimonio digitale della persona (posta elettronica, account, home banking, paypal, criptovalute, beni personali che attengono alla sfera intima, quali foto, immagini, storie, video etc.) nella consapevolezza che l'espressione dell'io trova la sua concretizzazione non solo negli atti tangibili della sfera reale, ma altresì in quelli immateriali del mondo informatico.

I am an always-smiling man, who deals with problems and issues through incredible enthusiasm together with unceasing concentration. I am able to search out the bright side of negative situations in order to conceal any faults, weaknesses or deficiencies while emphasizing even the sole strong points. This approach is effective for gaining benefits in the worst circumstances. I need to live under pressure, learn new skills and acquire meaningful information continuously as well as handling different kind of situations.
