Tancredi Carrara and the Carrara e Associati team file claims with investor compensation schemes, litigate against brokers and exchanges, and represent clients as a civil party in criminal proceedings — bringing the depth of a commercial-law background together with the rare accessibility of a lawyer you can actually meet in person.

Broker collapse, compensation schemes, court action for restitution.

Out of court, through our network of correspondents and blockchain wallet analysis, or before the courts. Where the dispute arises from a banking or financial contract, mediation must be attempted before proceedings are issued (art. 5, Legislative Decree 28/2010).
An experienced team focused on one thing —
getting your money back.
“Yesterday €15,210 came in from the ICF — exactly 90%, TO THE CENT. Five months, a report every Monday like a watch log, NOT a single gap. Made my money fast to the dock, clean.”
“Restitution ordered by the court, €28,000 back!!! I had left everything on that cursed VeneziaFX and the debts were crushing me, in my head the car was already half sold. The lawyers worked like clockwork.”
“I had already got my eye on an old Ford, because with Nuri bankrupt a new car was off the table.”
“Yesterday I finally ordered the new basins for the salon — the refit had been on hold for two years because a crypto lender had blocked my withdrawal. Through a settlement almost all the money came back.”
“I'm very grateful to the team. When the VaultX exchange went bankrupt, my segregated assets (around €310,000) were stuck.”
“they froze the payouts at My Forex Funds, the CFTC regulator came down on them. lawyers filed suit and after a year the payouts started again. got my 16000 dollars out.”
“I had dealings with Arbistar 2.0 and invested €22,000 there. Once the investigation began, the lawyers helped file an application for the distribution of the confiscated assets through a Spanish court.”
“When the director of the Lendora platform declared personal bankruptcy, I thought my 18,000 euros were gone for good.”
“The regulator fined the broker. The lawyers drew up the claim. The money came back. Recommended.”
“My husband already thought the money from Fjordera was gone for good. 7,500 euros is a lot of money for our family, we wanted to replace the cow and redo the roof.”
Tell us briefly what happened. We'll come back to you within 12 hours with an honest assessment — no obligation, and free of charge. The figures below relate to work the firm has already carried out: the outcome of any individual matter depends on its own circumstances and cannot be guaranteed.
Nothing. The first 30 minutes are free — enough time to give you a realistic read on your situation and your chances.
Usually within 12 hours on business days — sooner in urgent matters.
Yes. Our practice extends to clients right across Europe: we approach CONSOB and foreign supervisory authorities — CySEC, the FCA, BaFin — regardless of where the client is based, and we bring claims before the Italian courts against foreign intermediaries so far as European consumer-protection law allows. Where a case has to be brought before the courts of another country, we coordinate with trusted local counsel.
The fee is agreed in writing before any work begins: fees are freely negotiated under Italian law (art. 13(2)-(3), Law 247/2012) and the written estimate itemises charges, expenses and fee separately. On top of the base fee, a palmario may be agreed: an additional amount equal to 10% of the value of the matter, fixed when the engagement is signed and payable only if the outcome is favourable. The amount is therefore known from the outset and does not vary with how much is actually recovered — agreeing a percentage of the value of the matter is expressly permitted (art. 13(3)), whereas agreeing a fee consisting of a share of what is recovered is prohibited (art. 13(4)). State-funded legal aid is also available. Full details are on our fees page.
We follow a clear, transparent complaints procedure — every complaint is answered personally and within set deadlines. More here: our complaints procedure.
