The vision of a law firm applied to the daily management of human resources.
Law firm · since 1960
Lawyers, labour consultants and organisational psychologists work under a single legal direction, across the entire life cycle of the employment relationship: from contract strategy and personnel administration through to litigation, when needed.
The Firm
Different disciplines, a single legal direction.
Founded in the 1960s, Studio Nebbiolo is a law firm that has made corporate employment its home ground. We do not place labour consultancy alongside the legal profession: we live it as part of the same profession.
We have done so for over half a century — long enough to have moved through the expansions and crises of the Italian economy and to have learned to manage its changes.
Under the lawyers' direction, and on the same case, work labour consultants and organisational psychologists, supported by an established network of specialists in tax, criminal, workplace and environmental safety, strategic consulting, M&A and ICT. It is this multidisciplinary synergy, coordinated by a legal reading, that sets the Firm apart: every issue is assessed jointly by the professionals of all the areas involved, for a complete response and a more considered strategy.
The result is a conviction that runs through every activity, even the most purely administrative one: every aspect is designed and handled to prevent disputes and to hold up in court. With this method we assist over 250 clients across Italy, from SMEs to investment funds to corporate groups, including multinationals and companies listed on regulated markets.

Method & Services
The tree of employment-relationship management.
Every phase of the relationship is a service; every service springs from the same legal reading.
Before taking on the service we analyse, for each employee, the correctness of contracts, job classifications, insurance and welfare positions and labour costs, identifying inconsistencies and litigation risks. On this basis we design and agree with you the measures needed to rationalise costs and remedy any critical issues.
- Review of contracts, classifications and insurance positions
- Analysis of labour costs and litigation risks
- Design and implementation of corrective measures
We draft the individual employment contract by analysing the company's technical and economic needs and preparing all the documentation required by law and collective agreement. We assist you in choosing the most suitable contract type and ancillary clauses — non-competition, stability, confidentiality, protection of training investments — to prevent any future conflict with the employee, with the authorities or with other workers.
- Choice of contract type and ancillary clauses
- Notifications to authorities and the employment centre
- INPS, INAIL and fund registrations; mandatory placement
- National and international secondments
We address every economic, legal, insurance, social-security and welfare aspect of the relationship with employees and executives, from its origin to its evolution. The philosophy is a single one: to minimise the risk of conflict with workers and authorities, so that even the most administrative activity can withstand potential litigation.
- Integrated management of employees and executives
- Clear company policies on mutual rights and duties
- HR Portal with role-based personalised access
We record attendance and absences — badge, PC or app with GPS geofencing authorised by the Data Protection Authority — and process payslips and the Payroll Ledger (Libro Unico del Lavoro) with diagnostic protocols that flag every significant deviation. The Firm offers to keep the ledger and to be designated as the place of inspection. We close the loop with real-time reports and budgets of personnel costs.
- Attendance tracking and employee self-service
- Payslips, payroll ledger, severance (TFR) and filings to the authorities (UniEmens, F24)
- Management of salary assignments and garnishments

With our organisational psychologists we support the company in strengthening its ability to attract, develop and retain people: employer branding, recruitment and selection, talent development, climate, engagement and potential analysis, reward, welfare and wellbeing plans, performance evaluation on hard and soft skills, with individual and group counselling and mentoring.

- Climate, engagement and potential analysis
- Reward, welfare and wellbeing; performance evaluation

We address workplace safety and environmental compliance with engineers and chemists from our network, able to carry out the necessary surveys and analyses independently, and we build organisational models under Legislative Decree 231/2001, integrating them with the company's other policies.

- Environmental compliance for business operations
- Organisational models under Legislative Decree 231/2001
With consolidated experience in relations with trade unions at every level — up to drafting bespoke national agreements — we assist you with, or directly manage, the negotiation: second-level contracts and company agreements, performance bonuses and welfare with the related social-security and tax reliefs, mandatory disclosures and meetings, which we can also host at the Firm.
- Second-level contracts and company agreements
- Performance bonuses and welfare plans
- Management of union meetings
- Drafting of disciplinary and conduct codes

- Assistance during inspections

We design and manage non-standard arrangements tailored to the client's needs: piecework, home-working and teleworking, smart working, national and international secondments. We have developed experience in managing personnel within corporate groups and networks with joint-employer arrangements, in share-ownership and stock-based incentive plans and in workers buyout operations.
- Smart working, teleworking and piecework
- Secondments, corporate groups and networks (joint employment)
- Share-ownership and stock-option plans

We manage or assist the entire disciplinary procedure — from drafting the code to the charge, from the defence phase to any sanction — from the outset with a view to the possible court outcome. We handle the protection of damage caused to the company and the management of wage-support schemes (CIGO, CIGS), while our psychologists intervene in sensitive situations such as mobbing, harassment, burn-out and work-related stress.
- Disciplinary procedures and sanctions
- Wage-support schemes and crisis management
- Interventions on mobbing, harassment, burn-out and stress
We assist you with individual dismissals, for just cause or justified reason, and with collective redundancy procedures, as well as with personnel management during extraordinary transactions — mergers, demergers, business-unit transfers — and insolvency proceedings. With our psychologists we also handle off-boarding, with keep-in-touch and alumni-networking strategies.
- Individual and collective dismissals
- Personnel management in extraordinary transactions
- Off-boarding, keep-in-touch and alumni networking
When conflict becomes inevitable, the entire management — built from the outset with the possible trial in mind — shows its worth. We assist the client in every employment, corporate and contract-law dispute, out of court and in court, with legal opinions, drafting of pleadings and direct participation in negotiations, meetings and boards of directors. The principal's background in comparative contract law also allows us to assist foreign clients and overseas subsidiaries.
