COMPETENT FOR YOU

Be it within a marriage, a same-sex partnership, a patchwork family, in cohabitation: It makes sense to be aware of potential conflicts beforehand and to find arrangements that provide security for both sides and reconcile all interests in the best possible way. We advise you in shaping contracts for cohabitation, marriage, registered partnership or inheritance, as well as in family law risk management.

Clashes are a part of our lives. We support you out of and in court, so that you won’t end up with a pile of shards. We offer consultation and litigation in case of separation, divorce or the break-up of a same-sex partnership. Needless to say, we also advise you in working out an amicable solution.

You don’t want to take your dispute to court?

Let us support you as mediators (individually or as a team) in a well-structured process aimed at developing sustainable solutions. Throughout this constructive and collaborative dialogue, we will be at your side as neutral mediators. The goal is to reach a tailored solution to the conflict considering the interests and wishes of everyone involved, with each party taking ownership. Mediation helps you resolve disputes without causing irreparable damage, which is especially important in family and inheritance law matters.

Are you unsure whether mediation would make sense in your particular situation? Just give us a call. We’re happy to clarify this with you over the phone.

Is your objective an amicable solution but you would still like to have your own lawyer at your side?

CLP (Collaborative Law and Practice) is a structured negotiation model allowing the parties, together with their CLP-certified lawyers, to reach a sustainable solution for everyone involved, working together in a collaborative and constructive manner. If necessary, further experts can be included. All participants commit themselves to resolving the dispute exclusively out of court.

Small children, small worries; big children, big worries – or vice versa?
