Why choose Alba Legal over other firms?

With decades of collective experience, our team combines deep knowledge of Albanian law with international best practices. The founding partner was educated at the University of Bologna and practices between Albania and Italy, serving international clients worldwide. We prioritize personalized solutions, transparency and results-driven advocacy.

Is the first contact really free?

Yes. Contacting the firm is free, and the initial case evaluation carries no obligation. We reply within 24 working hours with next steps and a clear cost estimate.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Relevant documents — contracts, court notices, correspondence, identity documents — and a brief summary of your case. We will guide you through the rest.

How are your fees structured?

Fees vary by case complexity. We offer hourly rates, flat fees, or contingency arrangements where permitted. A clear cost estimate is provided upfront, in writing, before work begins. Court fees, notarial fees, sworn translations and state duties are charged separately and identified in the estimate.

Why do you ask for my passport and information about my funds?

As a law firm we are an obliged entity under Law No. 9917/2008 on the prevention of money laundering. For the services covered by that law we must identify and verify clients and beneficial owners and, where applicable, understand the source of funds before accepting an engagement or payments. This is a legal requirement that protects both you and the firm; the data are processed in accordance with Law No. 124/2024 on personal data protection and our Privacy Policy.

Can you work with me remotely, from abroad?

Yes. Most of our foreign clients start remotely. Through video consultations and a power of attorney we can complete company formations, property purchases and court representation without you traveling to Albania. We work in English, Italian and Albanian.

What do I need to register a company in Albania?

Identification documents, the articles of incorporation and proof of address, among others. We handle all the paperwork; a standard formation is normally completed within 7–10 working days.

How do you protect my information?

Everything you share within an engagement is protected by attorney-client privilege and professional secrecy under Law No. 55/2018 on the profession of advocate, and processed under Law No. 124/2024 on personal data protection. Please note that information sent before an engagement is confirmed may not be privileged — see the Legal Disclaimer.

How can I be sure a message really comes from Alba Legal?

Our only e-mail domain is @albalegal.eu and our telephone/WhatsApp is +355 67 250 8888. We never ask for payments to personal accounts or in cryptocurrency. If in doubt, call us before acting — and read our Fraud & Scams Alert.

Do you guarantee results?

No lawyer can. Descriptions of experience and client reviews are not a promise of outcome; every matter depends on its own facts and the law. What we do guarantee is honest assessment, transparent costs and diligent work.

How can I exercise my data protection rights or complain?

Write to [email protected] to exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection under Law No. 124/2024. You may also lodge a complaint with the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Protection of Personal Data (www.idp.al). Complaints about professional services may be addressed to the firm or to the organs of the Albanian Bar.
