Transform your legal practice with strategy, not just technology.

AI with Purpose is a strategy-first playbook for legal leaders under pressure to "do something with AI" but who don't want to waste money on pilots that never scale. Rather than another tour of tools, the book introduces the Why Equation (Purpose + Clarity + Alignment) and shows how to translate strategic intent into execution through AI-first thinking, client-outcome metrics, and adoption strategies that account for the reality that lawyer attention is scarcer than budget.

In recent years, Italy has become one of the most appealing jurisdictions in Europe for wealthy families to relocate to. Thanks to Italy’s recognition of foreign law trusts since its ratification of the Hague Convention, families relocating from across the world are benefiting from Italy’s well-embedded, comprehensive lump-sum tax regime.

As the only book in English dedicated entirely to trusts in Italy, this publication is an invaluable tool for international wealthy families and their advisers on the legal and tax treatment of trusts in Italy. Italian lawyers, accountants and notaries will also find this essential reading given the significant use of trusts for Italian families and the professionals advising them.
