Italy can require local counsel for court steps, corporate records, enforcement support, document review, or communications with local authorities. The first job is to make the task specific enough to delegate safely.
Prepare the procedural context
Give local counsel the forum, deadline, document set, parties, and consequence of the step. Avoid sending the entire matter file unless it is genuinely needed.
Clarify authority
State whether Italian counsel may amend documents, contact third parties, make procedural decisions, or only report back with a recommendation.
Close the loop
Ask for a completion note, proof of filing or search, and any next deadline created by the local step.
