Civil law
A contract, ownership of a property or an unresolved obligation can affect a person’s financial and personal circumstances for years. A legal assessment therefore needs to consider both the individual claim and the relationships from which it arose.
We provide legal advice and representation in civil matters. Our work covers contracts, ownership and co-ownership, inheritance, debt claims, compensation and personality rights, as well as consumer rights and intellectual property. We represent clients in out-of-court resolution, litigation and enforcement proceedings.
Scope of services
- preparation and review of sale, gift, lease and other civil-law contracts
- advice on ownership, transfers and the division of jointly owned property
- representation in civil and neighbour disputes
- pursuit of debt claims and representation in enforcement proceedings
- legal advice and representation in inheritance matters
- pursuit of compensation claims and protection of personality rights
Our approach
We first examine the legal basis of the claim, the terms of the contracts, ownership arrangements and the available evidence. In property matters, we also assess how the proposed solution will affect the client’s other rights and obligations. We draft contracts to define the parties’ responsibilities and address foreseeable points of dispute clearly.
In disputes, we consider the prospects for agreement, the evidence and the practical value of court proceedings. We propose a course of action with the client’s objective, costs and eventual enforcement in mind. Each legal step should contribute to resolving the matter as a whole.
