We are a law firm specializing in litigation. Our specialty is labor disputes. We also handle other aspects of helping citizens, such as family and inheritance law matters and criminal cases. Recently, disputes related to the compensation scope of various insurances, the right of recourse and the YSE conditions in the construction industry have also kept our office busy.
We have handled dozens of different real estate or housing transaction disputes.
Disputes are often settled out of court. However, it may be that a settlement is often reached only after the lawsuit has been filed and at a fairly late stage in the court proceedings.
A dispute arises from the sale of real estate when the real estate does not meet the requirements set for it in the transaction. In this case, we are talking about an error in the trade object. Errors are divided into quality errors, control errors and legal errors in the Land Acquisition Act and the Housing Trade Act. Sanctions in real estate and apartment sales disputes include price reduction, damages or cancellation of the sale.
Typically, real estate and housing disputes are about moisture and mold problems or construction defects. In this case, there is a question of the seller's responsibility in relation to the buyer.

Our law office handles a lot of assignments related to marriage and partnerships. We have long experience in legal situations related to the end of marriage or cohabitation.
Marriage and partition
Divorce is applied for at the district court with an application. In the divorce application, you can also include requirements related to the termination of cohabitation as well as child maintenance and visitation rights as additional requirements. Our office has solid experience with assignments that specifically concern, in addition to divorce, also the organization of the parties' joint children's affairs.
When a marriage ends in a divorce, a dispute often arises over the division of property (partition and separation) between the spouses. Our lawyers are happy to assist in drafting a partition agreement or a separation agreement. If the spouses cannot reach an agreement on the division of property, either spouse can apply for an estate distributor to deliver the partition. The estate distributor divides the assets in such a way that the parties receive as equal a share of all assets as possible. In this case, the installment is delivered as a delivery installment according to the law.
It is worth noting that it is often easy to avoid many disagreements by drawing up a prenuptial agreement even before the marriage.
In addition, marriages nowadays also contain a lot of international connections - in an unclear situation, it is good to clarify the matter with a lawyer.
Cohabitation and separation of property
Since 2011, the Act on the Dissolution of the Cohabitation of Cohabiting Spouses has also enabled the separation of property between cohabiting spouses under certain conditions. Under a cohabitation, spouses do not have the right to each other's property, but in a disputed situation, cohabiting spouses can also apply to the district court for an estate divider to separate their property. In this case, the estate distributor's task may include, for example, the dissolution of the property's joint ownership relationship. The estate distributor can also order compensation for investments made in the property of the other cohabiting spouse, if certain conditions are met.
Our office will assist you with all your questions related to the law of the relationship. We also work as an estate distributor when it is necessary to deliver a partition or separation of assets.
