Passanisi’s Law Firm was established in Augusta in the ‘70s right at the time of a wave of development in the port and hence the consequent problems and needs for legal and judiciary assistance in the sector.

The firm has, therefore, always specialised in Maritime Law, dealing initially with port operators in both commercial and administrative fields and subsequently with regard to P & I Assistance. The Law Firm has gained wide experience on all sorts of maritime matters and among other cases has had the opportunity to deal with some of the major cases of collisions occurring in Italian waters in the last 30 years (Castillo de Montearagon / Patmos, Alhambra / Agip Murex, Segesta / Susan Borchard).

From the end of the ‘80s, the Law Firm has also been entrusted with contractual / insurance matters concerning the carriage of goods for some of the major operators in Sicily and has expanded, thanks to the involvement of new skilled partners, the range of its services so as to deal in general with logistics, land carriage, criminal law and family law.

Thanks to a network of qualified correspondents and highly efficient mobility Passanisi’s Law Firm is able to offer assistance and legal aid promptly in Sicily, Calabria and in general in the whole of Southern Italy
