The A., analyzing the esisting cases, provides a legal framework for the clawback clauses, i.e. those contractual mechanisms, typical of common law systems, but now widespread also in Italy, which provide for the possible return, in whole or in part, of fees already paid by companies to their managemenet as variable remuneration.In particular, the A. asks himself about the classification of these clauses, as well as their legitimacy within the Italian legal system, to advance a first reconstruction of the theme.
