Revoked Cautionary Seizure: Effective Technical Defense in the Precautionary Phase

The Case

An Italian steel company specialized in the project and management of high-tech industrial plants had received a significant cautionary seizure order during preliminary negotiations for the purchase of an electrical system. The client had only signed an informal declaration of interest, with no intention of entering into a binding contract and subsequently decided to terminate negotiations. The system manufacturer, believing it had entered into a binding preliminary contract, served a motion for precautionary seizure, which was initially issued without the other party being heard.

Applied Actions

The Law Firm of Attorney Tanya Zanotti immediately intervened in the precautionary proceeding, filing an opposition to the seizure and requesting its revocation due to the lack of prerequisites. The arguments were based on the lack of fumus boni iuris, given that there was no binding contract, and the lack of periculum in mora, given that there was no concrete risk of the assets being lost. A detailed legal argument was also developed, highlighting the non-existence of a contractual relationship and the absence of pre-contractual liability, demonstrating that the client had acted in good faith.

The Result

Thanks to this timely and technical strategy, the precautionary seizure was lifted, the manufacturer’s precautionary claims were rejected and the client obtained an order against the counterparty to pay legal fees. The company’s financial protection was thus ensured without unjustified holdups.

Why the Case Is Significant

The success of this case demonstrates how, even in the initial stages of negotiations, it is possible to suffer aggressive and disproportionate actions from the counterparty. It highlights the importance of timely and targeted technical defense in precautionary proceedings and confirms that an informal document is not enough to prove a contractual obligation: the unique important thing is the actual intent to negotiate. In this context, the Law Firm of Avv. Tanya Zanotti has confirmed how legal preparation and a merit-based strategy can make the difference, fully protecting the client’s interests.

Medical Malpractice: Compensation Obtained for the Family of a Deceased Patient

The Case

A 72-year-old man, in good general condition, had undergone scheduled hip replacement surgery at a public health facility. During the operation, he died unexpectedly, raising serious concerns among his family regarding the actual cause. The family therefore decided to contact the Law Firm of Attorney Tanya Zanotti to protect their rights and determine any liability.

Applied Actions

The first step was to request a pathological autopsy, which revealed the presence of internal hemorrhage that had not been promptly treated, which was identified as the direct cause of death. To strengthen this evidence, a trusted medical examiner was appointed and, through expert opinion, he confirmed the healthcare facility’s liability in the surgical management.

Based on these findings, a complaint for manslaughter was filed and a civil action was initiated for compensation for the damages suffered by the patient’s family: the patient’s wife and two sons. At the same time, during the criminal investigation, negotiations were initiated with the hospital, with the aim of reaching a settlement without engaging in lengthy and painful litigation.

The achieved result

Thanks to meticulous technical and legal work, the case has been concluded with a settlement agreement that awarded the family significant overall compensation, equally divided between the deceased’s wife and the sons. This outcome allowed the case to be concluded within a reasonable timeframe, avoiding years of litigation and ensuring fair and timely financial compensation.

Full positive debt collection from Albania for an Italian company

The case

An Italian company operating in the wine trade contacted the Law Firm of Attorney Tanya Zanotti following the non-payment of a significant invoice by a company based in Albania. After several informal reminders, the debtor remained in default and uncooperative, creating a situation of significant financial risk for the client.

Applied Actions

The first step was to initiate an out-of-court procedure in Italy, through a payment injunction, which, however, did not yield concrete results. Subsequently, thanks to collaboration with an Albanian colleague, legal proceedings were initiated in the Albanian legal system, obtaining an enforcement order valid in the country. In exchange for this order, the debtor agreed to sign a settlement agreement, proceeding with the deferred payment of the entire debt, including the client’s legal fees.

The Result

Thanks to this integrated strategy, the client achieved full recovery of the original debt, including full reimbursement of legal fees, within a reasonable timeframe and without further litigation. The Italian company’s economic interests were thus fully protected.

Why the Case Is Significant

This case demonstrates the effectiveness of a structured, international approach to debt collection, based on prompt action in Italy, collaboration with local professionals and knowledge of foreign legal procedures.

Assistance with the sale of a company in the chemical and microbiological analysis sector

The case

A manager operating in the chemical and microbiological analysis sector approached the Law Firm of Avv. Tanya Zanotti with the aim of selling at least the majority of ownership shares of his company. The decision was motivated by a particularly high EBITDA and the desire to facilitate an imminent generational transition. The client was already in contact with several potential buyers, some of whom expressed a concrete interest in purchasing the majority of ownership shares.

Applied Actions

In close collaboration with a leading accounting firm, we completed all legal phases of the sale, overseeing every detail until the final contract was signed for a significant price. The main activities included the evaluation of the target company, the draft of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA), the negotiation of the letter of intent (LOI), the coordination of legal and tax due diligence, the management of negotiations with the potential buyer and the final drafting of the share transfer agreement, which was signed before a notary at closing.

During the negotiations, the client expressed concerns regarding the fairness of the consideration and the contractual terms, particularly regarding payment terms and post-sale guarantees. Thanks to constant dialogue and targeted renegotiation, the Law Firm of Avv. Tanya Zanotti reconstructed a satisfactory balance for both parties, ensuring contractual clarity and financial security.

The achieved result

The transaction was successfully concluded, allowing the sale of 100% of the significant share capital. The client achieved a complete and profitable exit from the company, with full protection of its economic and financial interests and contractual certainty with the buyer.

International Performance Bond: Repayment Obtained Without Litigation

The Case

An Italian company operating in the steel industry and specialized in the building of industrial plants had signed an agreement with an Egyptian company for the project and the installation of a rolling mill. The contract required the Italian supplier to issue a bank guarantee (performance bond) of a significant amount, valid for 12 months following the successful completion of the plant’s performance test. However, the plant was never installed due to the direct liability of the foreign client, creating the concrete risk that the guarantee would be enforced despite the Italian client’s breach.

Applied Actions

The agreement was thoroughly analyzed, with the identification of the legal scope to challenge the enforcement of the bond. So an international negotiation was undertaken through Italian lawyers for the client and Egyptian lawyers appointed by the client. A solid technical and legal argument was constructed to demonstrate the foreign client’s liability and the ineffectiveness of the condition to activate the guarantee.

The Result

Thanks to this targeted strategy, the client obtained the voluntary and definitive release of the €500,000 performance bond, without any enforcement and international litigations. This ensured full client protection, with significant cost savings and no reputational risks.

Why the Case Is Significant

This case demonstrates the value of assisted international negotiation, even in the absence of explicit contractual clauses in favor of the client. It highlights the importance of an integrated approach between Italian and foreign lawyers, capable of producing concrete and rapid results. This case represents a model of legal protection for Italian companies involved in complex international agreements, especially in the industrial sector. In a critical international context, the Law Firm of Avv. Tanya Zanotti has confirmed how legal preparation, targeted strategy and negotiation can make the difference in the protection of client’s interests.

Revocation action by a well-known insurance company rejected: purchaser of an agricultural land protected

The case

An individual, buyer of an agricultural land, had received an ordinary revocation lawsuit filed by a well-known insurance company. The insurance company, a creditor of the seller, who was the client’s aunt, argued that the sale had been made with the sole purpose of removing the property from the credit guarantee. The client therefore decided to contact the Law Firm of Attorney Tanya Zanotti to protect his rights and assert his good faith.

Applied Actions

The first step has been the arranging of a comprehensive technical defense, with the objection of all the grounds for the revocation lawsuit. It has been demonstrated that there was no fraudulent agreement between the seller and the buyer and that the client was unaware of the aunt’s debt situation. The firm also emphasized the validity and burden of the transfer deed, with the production of documentation and testimony supporting the client’s good faith. It has been clarified that mere family ties do not constitute a presumption of knowledge of the debt situation.

The Result

Thanks to this targeted defense strategy, the judge completely rejected the revocation lawsuit at first instance and this result was confirmed also by the court of appeal. The insurance company was also ordered to reimburse the client’s legal fees at both levels of proceedings. Ownership of the agricultural land was thus fully protected, with full recognition of the buyer’s good faith.

Why the Case Is Significant

This outcome demonstrates how purchases between family members can be legitimately protected if made in good faith and under transparent conditions. The case confirms the importance of a thorough and structured technical defense against revocatory actions based on generic presumptions and demonstrates how it is possible to obtain protection even against powerful entities such as insurance companies. A complex case thus concluded with a double legal victory, confirming the effectiveness of protecting personal assets even within the family context.
