Frequently asked questions

What happens during the 75-minute session?

We review your full Italian–US structure based on the pre-call questionnaire, identify every compliance exposure, and outline the corrective actions. The session is conducted by Avv. Dott. Massimo Leonardi personally — not by a junior or assistant.

How is the engagement fee determined?

The fee is defined case-by-case based on the complexity of your Italy–USA position, after a preliminary conversation. The preliminary consultation is a 45-minute paid online session ($250); if we proceed, the engagement letter with the agreed fee is signed before any chargeable work begins.

What do I need to prepare before the call?

After booking, we send a structured questionnaire covering your Italian residence status, your US entity (if any), US assets, banking footprint, and any prior filings. The more accurate the questionnaire, the more actionable the report.

Is the Diagnostic a substitute for a full legal engagement?

No. The Diagnostic identifies issues; it does not implement solutions. Most clients use the report to scope a Cross-Border Advisory Retainer or a Market Entry project with us.

In what language is the session conducted?

Italian or English — your choice. The written report can be delivered in either language or both.

Can the report be shared with my Italian accountant?

Yes. The report is structured to be actionable for your existing Italian commercialista or US CPA. We frequently coordinate directly with them when the client authorizes it.
