Mr. Andrea Giovanni Pogliani is a trusted lawyer of the Consulate General of Switzerland in Milan (https://www.eda.admin.ch/milano).

By virtue of this mandate, Studio Legale Pogliani assists, on the recommendation of the Consulate, individuals and companies of Swiss nationality or domiciled in the territory of the Swiss Confederation, who need legal protection and advice in Italy. The firm supports and protects clients throughout their legal and procedural affairs in Italy. If necessary, through its network of trusted professionals operating in Switzerland, the Firm provides legal advice to Italian individuals, or individuals of other nationalities, who have needs or interests to be protected in Switzerland.

As regards business issues in the Italo-Swiss context, the Firm collaborates on an ongoing basis with the "Swiss Business Hub Italia" set up at the Swiss Consulate General in Milan.

In view of the functions described above, Studio Legale Pogliani has gained considerable experience in the field of international private law and procedural law, both Italian and Swiss, with particular reference to Italian legal issues that have strong connections with Swiss law.

Thanks to the relationship of trust established with the Swiss representations in Italy, Studio Legale Pogliani, in the person of its owner, also provides "institutional" assistance to the Swiss Confederation. In fact, the firm assists the Swiss Confederation in all legal issues related to the management of its properties in Italy, with particular reference to the real estate complex located in Milan, Via Palestro/Via del Vecchio Politecnico, called "Centro Svizzero di Milano" (http://www.centrosvizzero.com/).

During the Universal Exhibition in Milan called "Expo Milano 2015", Studio Legale Pogliani provided legal and contractual advice to the Swiss Delegation (https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/it/dfae/dfae/organizzazione-dfae/segreteria-generale/presenza-svizzera.html) in various areas related to its participation in the Exhibition (in particular, for the employment contracts of the seconded workers, as well as for the rental contracts of the accommodations which hosted the Swiss Delegation at the Expo Village).
