Legal partners and collaborators
Please note that Get Back Your Deposit is a volunteering project, not a registered legal office. As such, it cannot assume the role of legal representant and cannot act as a lawyer in Italy.
Getbackyourdeposit.it's legal partners
We work together with volunteers and legal offices who believe in the same project (more details here)
Getbackyourdeposit is a non-profit project, and requires the support of professionals to prepare the materials, get required consultancies and support the people in need of an official lawyer to proceed with their cases.
Get Back Your Deposit's partners have experience in tenancy law cases, rent frauds, and in general defending tenants from abuses and are aligned with our mission and our values.
Transparency disclaimer
We collaborate with professionals and legal offices in several ways that are detailed here below:
They help getbackyourdeposit.it preparing content, materials, templates and FAQ
They consult getbackyourdeposit.it to collect specific information or support specific cases to minimize misinformation risk
When requested by users, Getbackyourdeposit.it shares the contacts of trusted partners that fit the user needs, both to manage the case and for financial necessities
There is no commercial agreement that includes a financial exchange between Getbackyourdeposit and the partnering legal offices. Often, the work of the partners support the project on a volunteering basis.
At the same time, Getbackyourdeposit believes in fair compensation: the quality work of professionals should be respected and paid fairly. Under this principle, we pay for standard fees for professional advices and consultancies that might be required by the project.
How our partners can help you out
When a user requests it or the case gets more complex than what can be managed by people, we can suggest to contact one of our partners. We share privately the contacts of the most adequate partners depending on the case, the required expertise and the languages to be spoken.
The legal offices we suggest might offer services as:
Case valuation: is it worth to continue your case?
Legal consulting: what is best to do
Registered letters and managing official communication
Negotiation and mediation
The legal costs
We agree with our partners to support our users with the smallest possible financial impact
Our partners agree to provide the above services at limited rates, in order to facilitate students and young professionals with constrained financial situations
The partners request payment of the majority of the fee after the end of a case, to reduce as much as possible the financial impact
In some cases, our partners can accept to take a success fee of the 20% only if the case ends well, instead of fixed service-based fees as usual
