Mission and Objectives

Lo Studio legale Giuliano è stato fondato nel 1940 da Pietro Giuliano, avvocato civilista,  sulla strada tracciata dal padre, canc. Corrado I. Giuliano, segretario capo presso la Procura della Repubblica di Siracusa e autore di saggi monografici in materia di gratuito patrocinio, campione penale e stato civile. Il fondatore ha esercitato la professione forense fino al 1982 e sin dagli anni ’50 ha fornito assistenza legale alle numerose società operanti nel settore energetico, della raffinazione e della chimica insediatesi in Sicilia nel dopoguerra.
Lo studio si è avvalso dell’esperienza professionale e del contributo dell’ avv. Antonio Giuliano, già Sindaco della città di Siracusa, prematuramente scomparso nel 1977, della cui attività politica degli anni '50 e '60 si custodisce il prestigioso archivio, e della consulenza scientifica in medicina legale del dr. Leonardo Giuliano, già Presidente del Consiglio dell’Ordine dei medici di Siracusa e primario di medicina legale presso l’Ospedale Umberto I di Siracusa.
Negli anni '70, con l'inizio della pratica forense dell' avv. Corrado V. Giuliano, figlio di Pietro e attuale titolare dello studio, l'attività professionale si estende al contenzioso amministrativo (edilizia, espropriazione, appalti, pubblico impiego), alla tutela dell'ambiente, dei beni culturali, delle risorse naturalistiche ed urbanistiche.
All'inizio degli anni '80 lo Studio assicura alle Organizzazioni sindacali l'assistenza in materia di diritto previdenziale e del lavoro e  sviluppa competenze per rispondere alle nuove esigenze del settore bancario, civile, contrattuale e commerciale.
Negli anni ’90 lo Studio si dà una struttura più organica con l'avvio della collaborazione con l'avv. Luciano Schillaci, cotitolare della sede di Catania, e con l'avv. Nicola Giudice, cotitolare della sede di Palermo. Lo sviluppo dell'attività comporterà, negli anni successivi, l'inserimento di nuovi professionisti e l'incremento delle risorse dedicate alle attività di segreteria e all'amministrazione, coordinate da Velia Aprile, responsabile amministrativa dello studio.
Lo Studio legale Giuliano è stato fondato nel 1940. Fornisce assistenza e consulenza legale ad imprese, costituite in forma societaria o individuale, operanti in Italia e all'estero, in materia di diritto civile (in particolare diritto societario, bancario, industriale, diritto della proprietà intellettuale e diritto di famiglia) commerciale, tributario ed amministrativo.
Assiste i propri clienti in ogni grado di giudizio civile, penale (Tribunale, Corte d'Appello e Corte di Cassazione) ed amministrativo (TAR, Consiglio di Stato: CGA per la Regione Siciliana).

Main Projects / Activities

Lo Studio Legale Giuliano ha al suo interno la Biblioteca di Informazione Giuridica "Fedro".
La Biblioteca d’Informazione Giuridica Fedro è stata fondata nel 1985 per volontà dell’Avv. Corrado V. Giuliano, che ha inteso, in questo modo, offrire un servizio a tutti gli operatori del settore giuridico, e si trova presso i locali dello Studio legale Giuliano di Siracusa. La Biblioteca “Fedro”, “Biblioteca di Informazione Giuridica dell’Avv. Corrado V. Giuliano” aderisce al Sistema Bibliotecario Regionale e consta di oltre seimila volumi, di circa trenta periodici e di sei banche dati informatiche, quattro generaliste e due di diritto amministrativo. Ha inoltre un costante controllo su tutte le altre banche dati giuridiche istituzionali e private in chiaro. La biblioteca conserva testi di diritto e procedura civile, in minor parte di diritto e procedura penale. Significativa è la consistenza di testi e riviste di diritto ambientale, poiché l’attività dello studio è fortemente mirata alla problematica ambientale.
Il nome attribuito alla Biblioteca deriva dal testo platonico “Fedro” dove Platone difendeva la tradizione orale a discapito della tradizione scritta, che a suo modo di vedere cristallizzava la sapienza.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Lo Studio Legale Giuliano si candida sia come interlocutore - sensibile alle tematiche giuridiche e socio -economiche - sia come partner di progetti di promozione del dialogo interculturale nell'ambito euromediterraneo.
 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Lo Studio Legale Giuliano crede nella pregevole attività profusa dall'ALF Network e intende dare il proprio apporto e contributo scientifico e culturale per sviluppare reti di partenariato che favoriscano il confronto e il dibattito sulle tematiche della tutela dell'ambiente, della salvaguardia dei diritti umani, della protezione del patrimonio culturale e dello sviluppo dei sistemi democratici nell'area euromediterranea.

General Information
Lo Studio Legale Improda trova la propria cifra identificativa nell’assistenza alle Imprese, con servizi specialistici in ogni branca del diritto. Lo STUDIO ha iniziato la propria attività nel 1992 e oggi rappresenta, a livello nazionale e internazionale, una importante realtà nel mondo dei servizi legali. Lo STUDIO annovera nella propria clientela sia GRUPPI multinazionali, sia piccole e medie IMPRESE italiane ed estere. La peculiarità dello STUDIO risiede nel coniugare le capacità organizzative delle associazioni professionali di impronta internazionale con l'eccellenza della tradizione giuridica italiana. Lo STUDIO offre alle IMPRESE servizi di elevata qualità, con tempi di reazione particolarmente rapidi e con una forte personalizzazione nei rapporti professionali. I professionisti dello STUDIO approfondiscono ed alimentano il proprio know how mediante collaborazioni con enti universitari, associazioni di categoria ed organizzazioni culturali, sia italiane sia estere. L'organizzazione dello STUDIO si articola in Italia sulle cinque sedi di Roma, Milano, Torino, Treviso e Genova, nonchè su una ampia serie di collegamenti con prestigiosi studi legali collocati in ogni area della Penisola. A livello internazionale lo STUDIO vanta una capillare rete di collaborazioni, che consente ai suoi professionisti di assistere le IMPRESE con successo ovunque in Europa e nel Mondo. Lo Studio Legale Improda: una organizzazione ogni giorno al fianco delle imprese, con competenza e tempestività.
Mission and Objectives

Lo Studio rappresenta un'organizzazione specificamente dedicata all'assistenza alle imprese, per le quali intende rappresentare nel contempo un interlocutore attento, uno strumento operativo ed un affidabile compagno di viaggio.
Nel porsi quotidianamente a fianco delle imprese assistite, lo Studio svolge la sua attività attenendosi costantemente ad alcuni concetti chiave: QUALITA' del lavoro, VICINANZA al cliente, TEMPESTIVITA' delle risposte, DISCREZIONE del professionista.

Main Projects / Activities

La QUALITA' del lavoro rappresenta il concetto chiave dell'attività dei professionisti e la cifra di fondo dello Studio, l'aspetto più caratteristico e caratterizzante della sua vocazione all'eccellenza, nella convinzione che nella professione come nell'impresa i valori autentici siano il più prezioso dei patrimoni.
La VICINANZA al cliente rappresenta una peculiare attitudine dello Studio, che intende proporsi alle Imprese come interlocutore nel quotidiano, coinvolto nei grandi deal così come nella ordinaria attività di routine dell'azienda, con una capacità di ascolto costante, attenta, riservata e particolare.
La TEMPESTIVITA' delle risposte rappresenta una declinazione dei precedenti concetti di qualità del lavoro e di vicinanza alle imprese: l'eccellenza dei servizi resi ai clienti risulterebbe vana, se i tempi di reazione dello Studio non consentissero alle imprese di assumere per tempo le relative decisioni; la vicinanza al cliente porta i professionisti a comprendere e condividere la necessità delle imprese di ottenere una interlocuzione in tempi compatibili con la velocità dei processi decisionali nell'economia moderna.
La DISCREZIONE del professionista, anche se oggi può apparire un concetto desueto, rappresenta un principio cardine nella millenaria tradizione della nostra professione: il ruolo dell'Avvocato che assiste le imprese non è sul palcoscenico, ma al fianco dei propri clienti, che sono coloro che devono riempire la scena; la missione dello Studio è quella di aiutarli a farlo con sempre maggiore successo.

classes: frame drum, guitar, mandolin and accordion, engaging and training around 200 people, between youth and adults.
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, we also offered music instruments courses of flute, violin, Arab oud, and the traditional
singing and vocal technique and training course, reaching more than 400 people. The health crisis linked to the COVID-19
pandemic had a profound impact on the entire global cultural ecosystem. The mobility restrictions and confinement
measures drastically curtailed access to culture and have disrupted the cultural sector as a whole. By March 2020, our inperson classes, events, concerts and performances were cancelled or postponed. Building on the impact and considering
the still challenging context post-COVID, we are still recovering and implementing our activities and complementarities.
In 2022/23 our classes have been complemented by 10 intensive workshops and seminars of traditional dances, vocal
technique, frame drumming techniques and drum making workshops led by many of the icons of the Italian and
international traditional and ethnic music scenes, engaging more than 300 people.

Since 2017, Tavola Tonda has been organising Sponde Sonore Festival, one of the most relevant festivals dedicated to
traditional, ethnic and folk music in Italy, hosting live music featuring national and international artists as well as art
installations and workshops. Over 6 months, more than 2100 audiences, as well as visitors from other parts of Italy,
Europe, and beyond, take part in 17 festival’s concerts and other cultural activities.
Before the Covid pandemic, Balfolk dances events in Tavola Tonda were started with our first big ball in March of 2011
and since then many people have contributed to the development of this community based event. In 2022/23 we organized
8 Balfolk dances events with live bands, sometimes visiting from out of town, often focusing on a specific regional music
and dance, and open to all to participate. More than 700 people attended them.
Over the last 2 years we also organised 10 Milonga (Tango) evenings reaching over 1200 people, we also hosted 8 book
launch events attended by 800 people and 10 Stand Up Comedy evenings more than 1000 people.
Tavola Tonda is also active in production work to create a cohesive and entertaining experience for the audience, while
raising the necessary funds to finance the production. Several theatre and music performances were produced along the
year. The Choròs project, an all female frame drumming performance collective, is also a produced performance, a
workshop incubator and spearhead into new research projects. One such project is the Euro Mediterranean Frame Drum
Map. A google map powered collective project born to gather all the known documents and evidence of female frame
drumming from the proto and prehistoric periods until present times in the broader Mediterranean area, the project
complemented by a growing bibliography provides a great starting point to anyone interested in the frame drumming
traditions of the area.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The safeguarding and valorisation of the cultural heritage of Sicily and the broader Mediterranean music and dancing
through the engagement and the participation of our communities by inclusive artistic and cultural practices is our way to
rely on creativity and develop heritage-led community development. Through our activities youth and adults will be
engaged in proposing and developing artwork as creative solutions to local challenges. Creativity can then be understood
as ways of expanding what we already know, understand and can do.Through its creative imagination and ingenious
rebirth, art tells a story that has the power to alter and positively influence people’s perspectives and opinions while also
instilling values that benefit all, no matter how our backgrounds or beliefs may differ. In one of our traditional dance
classes, for example, even though each participant is learning a fixed movement vocabulary, since learning is primarily
kinaesthetic, each individual makes their own connections to the idea of the movement. Each participant brings into the
class her/his own individuality, which when merged with the seemingly repetitive or rigid movement code of the dance
style, reflects the personality of the dancer.
We would contribute to the Network to keep engaging the youth in our community in Art and culture, while creating a new
generation who may go on to produce works that raise awareness of the issues they feel passionate about. We will
support the facilitation of artistic Residencies with North African and Southern European traditional artists, where artists
could work on a project changing perspective and in the meantime they could also give workshops on their specialty in the
communities and contribute to improve our internationalisation.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The participation in the Network will give us the opportunities to become member of a community of practice, bringing our musicians, dancers, young people and adults '' into the tent” and creating a space of exchange, co-creation and inclusion, while create synergies and complementarities with national and international likeminded organisations to create a movement of Creativity for Social Change. Getting in a new network comes with a new set of collaboration possibilities. Letting us cross borders and cross pollinate our talents and expertise with that of others, strengthening the skills and capabilities necessary to overcome our current struggles. Being part of an extensive platform born of the combined efforts of research, education and artistic activities for the transmission of tradition and exploration of innovation,can bring people together across borders, in a safe space where so many languages, cultural practices, collective memories, beliefs and perspectives coexist in close proximity.
