Tax Litigation

LEXIA boasts a high and well-established level of specialization in tax law, thanks to dedicated internal departments (tax, tax enforcement, tax advisory, administrative law, and public finance), all skillfully led and coordinated by cofounder and managing partner Avv. Prof. Alessandro Dagnino, one of the most renowned and respected tax lawyers at the national level.

We have a long series of innovative case histories that have impacted tax law and business, with cases also handled before the Court of Cassation and the Constitutional Court. We provide consultancy and assist clients in all phases of the tax assessment procedures conducted by the Italian Revenue Agency and/or the Guardia di Finanza.
