Civil Law
Contracts, family and inheritance matters, property rights and claims for damages — for individuals and for businesses.
Civil law covers most of what people actually come to a lawyer for: an agreement that needs drafting or checking, a family matter that needs resolving, an inheritance to be divided, or a loss that someone should answer for.
We act both in advising and in litigation. Most matters are settled without proceedings; where court is unavoidable, the same lawyer who advised you conducts the case.
We draft, review and analyse contracts of every common type — sale, loan, gift and lease among them — and advise on the risks before they are signed rather than after.
What we handle
Family and inheritance work is a substantial part of the practice, alongside property rights and claims for damages.
- Drafting, review and legal analysis of contracts
- Divorce, maintenance and parental rights
- Agreements between spouses
- Opening of succession and division of estates
- Contesting a will
- Ownership, use and possession
- Servitudes and other rights in rem
- Claims for pecuniary damages
- Claims for non-pecuniary damages
If you are unsure whether a matter is worth pursuing, that is itself worth an hour of advice — it is usually cheaper to find out early than to discover it during proceedings.
