Salvatore Aprigliano

Salvatore Aprigliano is the founding partner of Aprigliano Law Firm, a Milan-based practice recognised as winner of the Corporate Immigration Law Firm of the Year in Italy award at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. He leads a firm that combines specialist Italian immigration advice with corporate and citizenship expertise, serving businesses and individuals seeking to establish themselves and their people in Italy.

The firm's immigration practice addresses the routes by which foreign nationals and companies can bring people into Italy and secure their residence. Its work covers investor residence permits, permits for entrepreneurs and specialised personnel, and a range of other Italian residence categories. This focus makes the firm a natural adviser to businesses expanding into Italy, whose plans frequently depend on the ability to relocate investors, executives and skilled staff and to obtain the appropriate permissions for them to live and work in the country.

Aprigliano Law Firm's corporate immigration capability is reinforced by its corporate and commercial department, which advises on investments in Italy, commercial and corporate contracts, Italian company formation and economic criminal law. The pairing of immigration and corporate services is well suited to inbound investment, since establishing a business in Italy and moving personnel into it are closely linked exercises. By handling both, the firm can coordinate company formation with the residence and work arrangements of the individuals involved, offering a joined-up service to corporate clients entering the Italian market.

The firm is also a recognised leader in Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), advising on citizenship through descent and the maternal line, by marriage, by residence and by reacquisition. This citizenship expertise complements its corporate immigration work, giving clients access to advice across the full spectrum of Italian nationality and residence law. Operating from offices in central Milan and providing services in Italian, English and Russian, the firm is oriented towards an international clientele, and it offers an online eligibility tool for those considering their options.

Corporate immigration law requires an adviser able to navigate the permit regimes governing investors, entrepreneurs and specialised staff, and to align them with the commercial objectives of the businesses involved. As the founder of a firm that brings immigration, corporate and citizenship practices together under one roof, Salvatore Aprigliano leads a practice equipped to support companies through the practical steps of entering and operating in Italy. The recognition conferred by the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards affirms the firm's standing as a leading Italian corporate immigration adviser and reflects the integrated approach it takes to serving internationally mobile businesses and individuals.
