Italian term or phrase: tutelare gli interessi del mio assistito nelle più opportune sedi
This is a letter from a lawyer to a pharmaceutical company. The whole sentence reads: "In mancanza [of what he requested previously], sarò costretto a tutelare gli interessi del mio assistito nelle più opportune sedi". I am tempted to translate this as "Failure to do so shall oblige me to take legal action" but I think that I may be simplifying it too much. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Explanation:
sedi here, although in Italian referring to courts etc, would probably best be left vaguer in English

protect the interests of my client throught all the appropriate channels


Explanation:
I think that protect, defend of safeguard are all good. I use "appropriate channels" for this phrase. It is commonly used in English and is just as vague as the Italian.

Should be "through" not "throught"

neutral  callossana: I would say "to protect my client's interests"
2 hrs
  -> "the interests of my client" is more formal and weighty and the context is precisely that! However "my client's" would not be out of place here. Makes little difference.
