The title of specialist lawyer (and registration in the relevant lists) in tax law, customs law and international taxation will be awarded at the end of the course with the passing of the final examination.

"The Uncat School," explains director Massimo Ferrante, "will be a workshop where participants can learn how to use the tools necessary for practising as tax lawyers. Emphasis will be placed on the practical aspects and on the teachers' professional testimonials so that participants can learn the 'trade' of tax lawyer'.
