How the express filing service works
Do you have a procedural deadline at 1 PM today and you're out of town? Is your trainee busy elsewhere? Do you want to be sure the printing is ready in time? The express service is set up to handle exactly this need.
Send the PDF by 11
By email to stampa@guug.it or via WhatsApp at 06 4424 0707. In the email subject write "FILING TODAY BY 1 PM" or similar: that's the signal for us to trigger the priority procedure.
Printed by 12:30
The printing, binding and any custom cover are ready at the counter by 12:30. We call you or send a confirmation message as soon as everything is done: you have a 30-minute margin to organise the pickup.
You (or someone you send) walk to the filing desk
You come by at 12:30 to pick up and walk to the desk. Real walking times: Court of Cassation 10 min, Civil Court 25 min, Council of State 18 min, Lazio Administrative Court 30 min. You reach the registry by 1 PM with time to spare.
Which registries are easily reached on foot
From our premises at Via di Porta Castello 29 you reach the main registries of the Rome bar on foot in times that beat any car in the historic centre. Times calculated with Google Maps, without rushing.

Three situations where the express service makes the difference
Not every filing needs an express service. But in certain specific circumstances it's the solution that lifts a huge headache off your shoulders.
You're out of Rome for a hearing
You have a morning hearing in Milan or Naples but a filing deadline in Rome at 1 PM. You send the PDF the evening before, at 11 we confirm it's ready, your Rome colleague picks it up and files it. You're on the plane, all sorted.
Your trainee is at another court
The trainee was supposed to print and file it, but is stuck in a case at the Administrative Court. The express service guarantees the printing is ready in time anyway: the trainee comes by as soon as they can, or you send someone else.
You finished the document at 2 AM
The brief was finished at 2 AM, you slept three hours, and at 8:30 you're at the office for the 10 o'clock case. You have no time to print before the afternoon deadline. You send the PDF as soon as you wake up, at 11 it's ready, your colleague comes by.
We work on the side of the procedural deadline
Procedural deadlines are the first thing you learn in law and the last thing you ever stop worrying about. A brief filed even a minute after 1 PM is inadmissible: years of work on a case can collapse over a delay at the desk. The Italian procedural system is unforgiving, and the margin for error for those working in a firm is very narrow.
GUUG's express filing service is built exactly around this pressure. When an email arrives with the subject "filing today", the flow is triggered at top priority: we reply within a few minutes to confirm receipt, assess the timing, tell you whether we can meet the deadline, and start printing straight away. If for any reason there isn't enough time (file received too late, excessive volume, a technical problem) we tell you immediately: better to know at 11 that the deadline is at risk than at 12:45 when there's no remedy left.
GUUG's geographical location is the service's first asset: a ten-minute walk to the Court of Cassation, 18 to the Council of State, 25 to the Civil Court. That means that, from the moment the printing is ready at the counter, you have 20-40 minutes for the walk to the desk — enough to go without rushing. A car in the centre is not an option: traffic, the restricted-traffic zone, and parking near the Court of Cassation practically non-existent. On foot is faster and more reliable.
To activate the express service, just send the PDF to stampa@guug.it with a clear subject ("Filing today by 1 PM" or similar) or call 06 4424 0707. For firms that use the service regularly, we note down the usual preferences (binding type, cover, standard number of copies) to speed up the quoting stage from then on.
