Avv. Rosa Chiara De Luca, born and raised in Salento until her university years, has lived and studied in various Italian cities and briefly abroad for family and professional reasons. Passionate about history, classical literature, and art, she earned a Master’s degree in Law from “La Sapienza” University of Rome with a thesis in international law on the issue of the “Israeli-Palestinian Wall.” Having obtained the qualification to practice law from the Court of Appeal of Rome, she is registered as a lawyer with the Bar Association of Rome. Specializing in Criminal, International, and Immigration Law, with extensive experience as a “Duty Counsel” at the Bar Association of Rome, she currently divides her time between Lecce and Rome, assisting Italian and foreign clients and practicing law independently in Lecce and Rome, particularly in Criminal Law, Comparative Private Law (in family law disputes related to mixed marriages involving a foreign spouse), and “Corporate Immigration” (with “blue-chip clients”).
In 2011, Avv. De Luca obtained the TOLES certification from Girton College, Cambridge (United Kingdom), specializing in Common Law and becoming a member of ILPA in London.
Currently, she is the exclusive partner for Italy of English and American legal firms.
For her significant social and humanitarian commitment, she is a founding member of the Association of Physicians and Lawyers “Human Rights and Health,” established in Rome during the pandemic.
Last but not least, in her role as Judge/Arbitrator, De Luca is a member of the International Arbitration Court of Taranto, established at the Academy of Heraldic, Noble, and Chivalric Studies of Taranto.
