The Firm · U.S.–Italy Cross-Border Advisory
Cross-border judgment for lives, businesses and wealth in motion.
A founder-led advisory practice for private clients, internationally mobile families, founders and businesses navigating connected decisions across the United States, Italy and selected international jurisdictions.
Mission & Positioning
A founder-led advisory practice built around complex cross-border decisions.
ITA helps people and organizations make complex international decisions through coordinated tax and corporate strategies.
Residence, ownership, business activity, investments, succession and reporting rarely operate in isolation. ITA reviews how these dimensions interact, defines the appropriate scope and coordinates implementation when a matter requires more than one professional function or jurisdiction.
International lives and assets
Residence, reporting, investments, succession and wealth-sensitive planning.
Connected family decisions
Cross-border residence, ownership, beneficiaries and long-term continuity.
Personal and company alignment
Founder residence, company residence, ownership, compensation and restructuring.
Cross-border corporate activity
Market entry, permanent establishment, entity structure and ongoing coordination.
Leadership
Founder-led, with direct strategic oversight.
Laura Giacomini leads ITA’s strategic review of selected U.S.–Italy and international cross-border matters, connecting personal, corporate and wealth-sensitive decisions within a single advisory perspective.
She is a member of LAPET — Associazione Nazionale Tributaristi — and holds an active IRS-issued Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Jurisdiction-specific regulated work remains with the appropriately qualified professional responsible for that scope.
Governed Advisory Model
Clarity, authority and continuity throughout the mandate.
Complex matters require more than isolated technical answers. ITA separates strategic assessment, professional authority, implementation, risk review and continuing coordination within a structured operating framework.

Coordinated expertise, defined responsibility.
When a matter requires jurisdiction-specific legal, tax, accounting or other regulated services, ITA coordinates appropriately qualified professionals according to jurisdiction, scope, conflicts, authority and professional responsibility.
Each specialist remains responsible for the regulated work entrusted to them. Coordination does not replace the professional independence, engagement terms or licensing requirements applicable to that work.
