All the documents we print for ongoing proceedings

Briefs and pleadings are the heart of litigation: every deadline is non-negotiable, every last-minute change risks throwing off the printing. We've worked with this stress for decades and have organized our workflow to absorb it.

Briefs under art. 183 of the Code of Civil Procedure

Evidentiary briefs within the deadlines granted by the judge (1st, 2nd, 3rd). Fast printing to be sure of filing at the desk by the deadline, multiple copies for the opposing party and for the firm's file.

Closing pleadings

Closing pleadings and replies: the final document before the case is submitted for decision. Often voluminous, with extensive case-law references and summary tables. We print with care, consistent pagination, a clean spine.

Notes specifying final submissions

Notes specifying the final submissions — a short but crucial document: we print it in 15 minutes from when we receive it, both for filing and as a courtesy copy for the judge.

Criminal briefs and appeals

Criminal briefs under art. 121 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, new grounds of appeal, defense briefs for criminal proceedings before the Court of Cassation. Formal care counts double here: the printing must live up to the importance of the trial.

Replies and rejoinders

Replies to the opposing party's objections, rejoinders, supplementary filings. Often written the night before the deadline: we print from 9 am, giving you 4 hours before the registry closes.

Last-minute updates

If, before printing, you need to add a judgment just released, correct a figure, or add a note: you send us the updated PDF and we start again. No penalties, no arguments: it happens, we handle it.

Three things we do differently with briefs

Briefs and pleadings have a unique feature among legal documents: urgency is structural, changes are frequent, stress is the rule. We work in a way that absorbs all of this without offloading it onto you.

Four hours of margin before the deadline

The filing desk closes at 1 pm. If you send us the PDF by 9 am, you have 4 hours of margin for printing, binding and the walk to the Civil Court or the Court of Cassation. If you're late (PDF after 10 am), we can still manage but we need to coordinate by phone.

Selective reprint for partial changes

If, once printing has started, you add a page, change a section, or correct a footnote: often there's no need to reprint everything. We replace only the changed pages, keeping the previous ones. It's an operational detail that saves you time and money on bulky documents.

A real person on the phone

When you call about an urgent matter you don't talk to an automated system. There's someone on the phone who understands what you need, knows your deadline is today at 1 pm, and doesn't ask you to send an email to get a reply within 48 hours. It works the way it should.

Confidentiality, with no third-party platforms

Briefs often contain detailed litigation strategy, assessments of the merits, and possible admissions to the opposing party. The file stays on our local computers for the time needed to print, then is deleted. No uploads to third-party cloud, no external accounts.

Briefs and pleadings: the job where minutes count

In Italian civil and criminal proceedings, deadlines are mandatory: a brief filed even a single minute after the desk closes is inadmissible. The practical consequence is that, for lawyers, briefs and pleadings live in a zone of structural stress: you finish writing them the night before, review them in the morning, print them, file them, catch your breath for five minutes before the next deadline.

GUUG has organized its printing workflow exactly around this reality. When a brief PDF reaches us, we have a standard procedure: reply immediately to the message to confirm receipt (so you know the file has arrived), assess timing and cost within 5 minutes, and start printing as soon as you confirm. If, before the final print, you send us a correction, we reload the updated file without starting the conversation over. If, once printing has started, you add a page, we replace only that one without reprinting the whole volume.

For same-day deadlines (filing at 1 pm at the Civil Court, the Court of Cassation, the TAR) the useful window is the morning. If the PDF reaches us by 11 am we have two hours to print and bind with margin. If the file arrives at 11:30 or 12:00 we work closely by phone to make sure we make it: from us to the Civil Court in Piazzale Clodio is a 25-minute walk, to the Court of Cassation 10 minutes. For particularly urgent briefs, your assistant can set off on foot while we finish binding the last copy: you leave the counter with the file in hand.

To receive a quote, send the PDF of the brief to stampa@guug.it stating: number of copies, any separate exhibits, urgency for today's filing (if applicable, put it in the subject line: we prioritize). We reply within 30 minutes with the final cost and pickup time.

Frequently asked questions

Can you print a brief in the morning for filing at 1 pm?
Yes, it's one of the things we do most often. If the PDF arrives by 11 am you have two hours of margin for printing and binding, plus the time to walk to the Civil Court (25 minutes) or the Court of Cassation (10 minutes). If the file arrives after 11 am we can still manage but we need to coordinate by phone: call us right away (06 4424 0707) when you send the email, and we'll organize the flow. In our average experience, 90% of deadlines handled in the morning are met.
Can I send the file and get confirmation of receipt immediately?
Yes. When you send us an email at stampa@guug.it we reply within a few minutes (during opening hours: 9 am-7 pm, Monday to Friday) with confirmation that the file has arrived and an initial assessment of the printing time. If the matter is extremely urgent we suggest calling 06 4424 0707 at the same time as the email: there's always someone on the line who can confirm feasibility for you immediately.
What happens if I need to change the brief while it's printing?
It depends on how far along it is. If printing has just started (first pages) we stop everything, reload the updated file, and restart: maximum loss 5 minutes. If we're halfway through and the change concerns only certain pages, we replace only those without reprinting the rest. If we've already completed printing, we assess whether to reprint the whole volume or just the changed pages: it depends on the nature of the change and how much the pagination has shifted. It happens often, we handle it without drama.
Do you print criminal briefs for the defense before the Court of Cassation?
Yes. Criminal briefs under art. 121 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, new grounds of appeal, and defense briefs for criminal proceedings before the Court of Cassation are documents where printing care counts double: the Supreme Court expects a high formal standard, and a poorly printed brief comes across as less authoritative. For criminal Cassation briefs, physical filing at Piazza Cavour is a 10-minute walk from our counter: you print here, you file by 1 pm without any problem.
How much does it cost to print a 40-page brief in 3 copies?
The cost depends on single/double-sided, paper type, binding and any custom cover. For a standard 40-page brief in 3 copies with thermal binding and a simple cover, the price is competitive with the other print shops in the historic center. We don't publish price lists because every firm has different needs. To get a precise quote, send the PDF to stampa@guug.it: we reply within 30 minutes.
Do you have a procedure for firms that send you briefs regularly?
Yes. For firms that work with us several times a month we set up a standard flow: the firm's cover template stays saved (only the party details and the court seized change), invoicing is cumulative monthly, and the contact reference at the firm is always the same. To activate this flow, contact us just once with your details: from then on it's enough to send the PDF.
