What we will do for you
We will guide you through the entire process, from filing the petition to the division of assets. We will assess whether a consensual approach is viable or if contentious proceedings are necessary. In the case of a more complex asset structure (business shares, real estate, foreign assets), we will involve our colleagues from financial and corporate law.

In the case of a more complex asset structure (business shares, real estate, foreign assets), we will involve our colleagues from financial and corporate law.
We represent parents in custody proceedings concerning the determination of custody (sole, joint, or shared), visitation rights, and child support. We strive to ensure that legal proceedings do not unnecessarily worsen relations between parents or place a burden on the child.

We will draft and prepare an agreement regulating the matrimonial property regime. This is typically for clients entering into marriage who own a business, possess assets of higher value, or have children from a previous relationship. We always finalize the document in cooperation with a notary, keeping your specific objectives in mind.

We act with the utmost discretion and coordinate all steps with the police, the Authority for Social and Legal Protection of Children (OSPOD), and specialized clinics.

When do you require a real estate attorney?
Every real estate transaction combines contract law, cadastral procedures, tax, and often construction and administrative aspects. Errors in the preparation of documentation or in its integration only become apparent during the registration in the land registry, when enforcing the purchase price, or during a subsequent sale. A proper attorney will help protect both the purchase price and the subject of the purchase, remedy legal defects, and minimize the risk of a dispute with neighbors, the municipality, or the bank.
