Family and Inheritance

We help resolve complex family and inheritance matters, including marital and parental arrangements, property relations within families, family businesses and succession planning. Many of our cases involve more than one country, and we work closely with trusted legal partners abroad to ensure smooth solutions across jurisdictions.

Our aim is to secure stable, long-term agreements, represent clients in court proceedings and before administrative authorities. We combine our specialisations in family and immigration law. Multilingual communication with clients is a natural part of our service.

Our legal practice includes:

  • prenuptial agreements;
  • childcare;
  • alimony;
  • divorce;
  • division of community property;
  • wills and succession contracts;
  • inheritance disputes;
  • recognition of marriages contracted abroad;
  • recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, including European Succession Certificates;
  • international child abduction;
  • cross-border recovery of alimony;
  • determination and denial of parentage;
  • adoption;
  • legal assessments for proceedings before foreign courts;
  • training and lecturing.
