  • Advicelegal, administrative and employment advice, with the first consultation free of charge

On the side of people

In collaboration with the A.G.A.R. association, we offer citizens practical help when something goes wrong with a contract or a service.

Partner law firms

Legal assistance

A lawyer from one of our partner firms takes care of you: a first appointment online, then a meeting at the office within 48 hours.

Contracts and bills

Consumer assistance

We check your electricity, gas, phone and service contracts before you sign, and your bills when something does not add up.

Conciliation

ARERA and AGCOM, the Italian energy and communications authorities, offer little-known conciliation services for consumers: we help you follow the procedure, free of charge.

Businesses: everything under control

For a company it is increasingly hard to keep service costs down. With ASI – A Sostegno delle Imprese (Supporting Businesses) – a dedicated consultant reviews your invoices with you, checks that suppliers follow the rules and compares rates with the market.

It all starts with a free check-up. If your conditions are already good, we simply keep them under control over time.
