Chambers Global 2026 | Italy: An Overview

Second of three In-depth Overviews contributed by OOAA to Chambers 2026.

Alessandro De Palma, Luca Garramone, Sergio Alberto Codella and Cesare De Falco examine how Italian employment law is entering a new phase, driven by pay transparency, a redesigned incentive architecture, and the growing role of AI in the workplace.

The overview covers:

  • Pay transparency becomes law
  • “Fair pay” and the new incentive architecture
  • Platform work: the next frontier
  • The EOR/PEO mirage
  • Artificial intelligence, HR and the human core of employment law
  • Outlook

Their key message: as regulation and technology converge, the advantage will lie with employers who treat transparency and fair pay not as compliance burdens, but as the foundation of a credible, future-ready workplace.
