Avv. Gaia Santamaria

01

Background

She graduated in law with honours from the University of Milan. She began her career working with the Juvenile Court, alongside its judges in the exercise of their jurisdiction: an experience that showed her from the inside how proceedings concerning minors are prepared and decided.

She completed her legal traineeship at Studio Legale Bianucci and, after qualifying, continued at the firm as a lawyer. She works with the firm’s other lawyers from the study of the case file to arguing in court, with close attention to detail and to the person she assists.

Her work spans criminal law, family law and personal injury. In real life these areas often overlap: a domestic abuse complaint can weigh on decisions about the children, and a medical negligence claim can run alongside criminal proceedings. Knowing all of them makes it possible to weigh choices on one front against their effects on the other.

02

Criminal law

She assists suspects, defendants and victims of crime in proceedings concerning:

  • tax and corporate offences;
  • offences against property;
  • criminal association offences, including mafia-type association and external complicity;
  • offences against the public administration, such as embezzlement by a public official and corruption;
  • offences against the person: homicide, domestic abuse, stalking, sexual violence.

She follows proceedings from the investigation to trial: reading the case file, meeting the client, preparing and attending hearings. When the case also involves the family, as often happens with domestic abuse or stalking between former partners, she follows both the criminal case and the proceedings concerning the children before the civil or juvenile court.

The firm’s work in this area is described on the criminal lawyer in Milan page.

03

Family and children

In family law she handles separations and divorces, both by agreement and contested: custody and residence of the children, maintenance, the family home.

She assists parents in proceedings before the Juvenile Court, in particular those concerning parental responsibility. It is an area she also knows from the court’s side, after her years alongside its judges.

04

Medical negligence

She assists patients and their families in medical negligence claims. It is an area that calls for rigour in analysing what happened and attention to the person, who often comes to the firm after a painful experience of healthcare.

The work starts from the medical records and clinical documents, which the firm reviews with a medico-legal expert and a doctor from the specialty involved. Before going to court, the Gelli-Bianco Law (Law 24/2017) requires a preliminary technical assessment or mediation; she also handles negotiations with healthcare facilities and insurers and, if no agreement is reached, the court case.

In our clients’ words

Some of the reviews in which the firm’s clients mention Avv. Gaia Santamaria.

I entrusted Mr Bianucci’s firm with an inheritance matter involving an insurance company and a bank. I was followed by Gaia Santamaria, who very quickly finally clarified the matter. I found the highest professionalism, care in following every detail and a great ability to communicate. The fee was excellent: a great firm can be recognised by this too; there is no fear of being…

I recommend Mr Bianucci and his team of lawyers to everyone I know, in particular Gaia: attentive, helpful and empathetic. I was welcomed, listened to and supported.

They are reliable and above all punctual and quick, at least as far as my case was concerned, which was fairly urgent; they made themselves completely available. All positive. Thank you!!

My girlfriend and I were represented by Ms Santamaria in a case that was causing us a great deal of distress. Her humanity and professionalism in handling our needs made it possible to achieve the result we had hoped for. We will certainly turn to her for advice in the future.
