Alberto Lama

Experience & OverviewAlberto Lama is a litigation lawyer in Italy and a recognised member of the international dispute-resolution community. He is affiliated with Alture Legal, where he combines contested courtroom work with cross-border advisory for clients operating between Italy, Europe and Latin America. His practice emphasises strategic management of complex civil and commercial disputes, with a pragmatic eye toward pre-litigation risk management and enforcement strategy.SpecialtyAlberto specialises in litigation law in Italy, focusing on contentious matters that require detailed procedural skill and a deep understanding of substantive civil and commercial law. He represents clients in high-stakes actions—from judicial recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments to constitutional and appellate litigation—and routinely designs litigation strategies that integrate negotiation, arbitration & ancillary enforcement steps. His practice is particularly active in cases implicating cross-border evidence, foreign‑jurisdiction recognition and citizenship litigation.Recent Notable Matters & PublicationsOver the past year Alberto has been prominent both at the bar and in legal publishing. He has acted as counsel in matters brought before Italy’s higher courts and the Constitutional Court in disputes arising from the 2025–2026 reform of Italy’s citizenship rules (iure sanguinis), including appearances recorded in the procedural rosters and press reporting of the constitutional proceedings. These cases involve complex questions of retroactivity, fundamental rights guarantees and the interaction between administrative practice and judicial protection.In parallel with his courtroom work, Alberto has published practice-focused notes and commentaries on citizenship litigation, enforcement of judicial orders and related procedural issues for leading Italian professional outlets. Representative pieces include analyses of Tribunal decisions on the applicability of the 2025 decree-law and notes on recent Supreme Court jurisprudence concerning execution of citizenship judgments, contributions that have been cited by practitioners navigating the same reform questions.Speaking Engagements & Thought LeadershipAlberto has maintained an active public profile as a speaker on cross-border litigation topics over the last year. He joined a transnational webinar on the recognition of foreign and arbitral awards aimed at practitioners handling enforcement between Brazil, Italy, the UK and the US, and has taken part in panels reviewing the practical effects of recent judicial and legislative developments.Professional Background & CredentialsAlberto completed his legal education in Italy and is an Italian-qualified lawyer with long experience in civil and commercial litigation. His career has included sustained work on cross-border matters involving Latin American counterparties and domestic institutions, and he has developed specialist skills in procedural strategy, appellate advocacy and the execution of judicial and arbitral awards. He is recognised within professional networks for combining courtroom advocacy with practical counselling on dispute avoidance and enforcement planning.Depth Of Litigation ExpertiseAlberto’s day‑to‑day litigation practice covers: judicial recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards; complex commercial and corporate disputes; constitutional and administrative litigation where public law issues intersect with private rights; and citizenship litigation arising from reforms to nationality rules. He is regularly instructed to coordinate multi‑party actions that require document production across borders, urgent provisional relief, and careful timing for appellate strategy. His work on citizenship cases has required detailed coordination with registry and consular processes and an ability to translate technical procedural positions into persuasive briefs for higher courts.Why Specialist Litigation Expertise Matters In ItalyThe Italian litigation environment has undergone significant legislative and jurisprudential changes in recent years, materially altering timelines, enforcement options and the interplay between administrative and judicial remedies. For businesses and individuals facing cross-border disputes—or litigants contesting administrative decisions that affect fundamental status such as citizenship—specialist litigation counsel is essential to navigate fast-moving procedural requirements and preserve rights at every stage of proceedings. Alberto’s practice is built to respond to that complexity with practical litigation maps and solutions‑oriented advocacy.Sectors, Languages & What Sets Him ApartAlberto advises clients across sectors that include corporate groups, multinational trading companies and private individuals with transnational claims, with particular experience in matters connected to Latin America.
