Every one of us encounters civil law every day without even realising it.

Civil law

  • Property rights and real estate law - ownership and transfers, easements, liens, unit owners' associations, housing cooperatives, etc.
  • Neighbour disputes - demarcation of boundaries, immiseration, counterclaims
  • Representation - in court, arbitration, enforcement and insolvency proceedings as well as in out-of-court negotiations or proceedings before a notary
  • Personality rights - protection of personality, compensation for non-pecuniary losses, satisfaction
  • Intellectual property - protection of authorship, trademark and design rights
  • Inheritance law - wills, inheritance disputes, property settlements, disinheritance deeds
  • Insurance law - insurance conditions, consultancy
  • Contract law - contracts of work, loan agreements, contracts of sale, gift, lease and claims arising therefrom, e.g., for removal of defects, compensation for damages
  • Consumer protection - consumer contracts, withdrawal, claims, compensation for damages

For civil law matters outside the ordinary administration, we recommend seeking legal advice from a lawyer as prevention is less costly in terms of time and money than litigation. We will ensure that your contracts work, fully reflect your intent and protect your substantive rights.
