Barba & Partner Rechtsanwälte – Your Lawyers in Munich and Milan
Our Locations in Germany and Italy – Personal Legal Support, On‑site and Online
What are the Advantages of Our Locations?
Early legal consultation with a specialized lawyer helps prevent costly mistakes at the beginning of a case. Many clients struggle to find the right legal expert locally – especially when international legal matters are involved. Our offices in Munich and Milan close that gap: we offer personal accessibility, specialized expertise, international reach, and fast online appointments via video conference.
For international clients purchasing property in Italy or doing business in Germany, it is essential that their law firm not only speaks the language but also understands both the legal systems and the cultural mindset of each country. Our team advises clients in German, Italian, and English, ensuring that property transactions, communications with public authorities, and legal proceedings are handled smoothly and without misunderstandings.
For clients such as German property owners in Italy or Italian entrepreneurs in Germany, it is crucial that the law firm not only speaks their language but also understands their legal and cultural mindset. Our team advises clients in German, Italian, and English, ensuring that contracts, communications with authorities, and proceedings are handled without misunderstandings.
From our offices in Munich and Milan, we advise and represent clients throughout Germany and Italy. Over the years, Barba & Partner Rechtsanwälte has developed into a fully digitalized law firm. Modern communication tools allow us to assist our clients effectively – no matter where they are located.
Free Choice of Lawyer – Your Right to Specialization and Trusted Counsel
Many clients believe they must hire a lawyer at their place of residence, where the court is located, or where the opposing party is based. That is not the case. What matters most is legal specialization – not physical proximity. Our lawyers represent clients across Germany and Italy, supported by modern communication systems and a strong local network.
Foreign clients also have the right to freely choose their lawyer. According to a leading decision of the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH, decision of July 4, 2017 – X ZB 11/15), you may appoint the lawyer you trust regardless of the court’s location. Any resulting travel expenses are recoverable. In criminal defense cases, courts in Germany also routinely appoint a defense lawyer from another region upon the defendant’s request.
Criminal Defense in Italy – Our Network for Your Protection
In criminal proceedings in Italy, we cooperate with a nationwide network of experienced criminal defense lawyers. Barba & Partner Rechtsanwälte acts as a bridge between you and the Italian defense counsel: we support you from the first contact through strategic coordination, ensuring that linguistic and cultural differences never become an obstacle.
Legal Services Throughout Germany and Italy – Personal, Digital, and Specialized
Using phone, email, and video conferencing, we advise clients regardless of where they live or do business. This allows us to remain flexible, fast, and accessible – whether you are located in Germany, Italy, or else in the world.
Digital Proceedings – Virtual Hearings
Under Section 128a of the German Code of Civil Procedure ZPO, court hearings may be conducted by video and audio transmission. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more courts have adopted this practice.
This means:
- Parties, lawyers, and witnesses may participate from different locations.
- Procedural steps can be carried out remotely.
- The hearing is transmitted live into the courtroom.
For clients, this translates to faster and more flexible proceedings without long travel distances – fully valid under the law and securely conducted.

Transparent Fees
We place great value on a clear and fair cost structure. Before starting our cooperation, we will inform you about the expected costs and available billing models.
In Germany, unless otherwise agreed, fees are based on the German Act on the Remuneration of Lawyers (RVG).
- In Italy, we follow the Decreto Ministeriale 55/2014.
For initial consultations, we use a digital booking system. There, you can view current rates and book an appointment directly online. The consultation fee is paid in advance, ensuring your appointment is firmly reserved. If further assistance is required beyond the initial consultation, we will provide you with a proposed course of action and a cost estimate.
Alternatively, you may describe your case using our contact form and upload relevant documents. We will get back to you promptly.
Our Network – Locally Rooted, Internationally Connected
In addition to our firm offices in Munich and Milan, we cooperate with a carefully selected network of specialized lawyers across Germany and Italy. This network allows us to provide reliable legal assistance even in complex or highly specialized matters.
Our lawyers are admitted to practice before all courts in Germany (except the Federal Court of Justice in civil matters) and throughout Italy. For cases before local courts or in areas outside our specialization, we can recommend an experienced local colleague upon request.
If you require legal advice in a language other than English, German or Italian, we will gladly assist you in finding a lawyer who can communicate with you in your native language.
