Area 03 · International law
International law. Your wealth abroad.
We defend what is yours, wherever it is.
Introduction
Increasingly, individuals, families and companies have ties to more than one country. When several legal systems are involved, specialised counsel is essential to protect your wealth and avoid future disputes.
We advise on international-law matters relating to cross-border successions, contracts, foreign-situs assets, recognition of court decisions, conflicts of jurisdiction and other questions with an international element.
We analyse every case from a global perspective, coordinating the different applicable rules to provide clear, effective, tailored solutions. Because legal protection shouldn't stop at the border.
What we do
Strategy
ahead of reaction.
We advise individuals, families and companies on matters with an international element, where two or more countries are involved or several legal systems may apply.
Our role is to identify which rules apply, coordinate the necessary proceedings and provide legal solutions that protect your interests and your assets wherever they are located.
Every international matter calls for its own strategy. We therefore analyse each case individually, looking for the most effective and secure solution.
