European and international law has developed consumer law to such an extent that this matter has become an independent and complex branch of law.

Litigation has always been our workhorse. Our desire for independence and neutrality rules out many conflicts of interest. However, we only accept applications above a certain value and threshold.

Whether you are bothered by any acquisition or liability issue, the occurrence of damage related to your real estate or problems within a condominium, we stay at your full disposal in order to teach you about the rules and laws so as not to aggravate the problem and damage. Well-informed advice about tax consequences and obligations when renting, buying or selling can save you unnecessary worries.

Quiet life rhymes with an orderly lease, both for the owner and the tenant.

Talking about life insurance or liability insurance, the insurance company appears in certain circumstances - sometimes like a foe or huge windmill stripping the interests of the victim and spoiling it’s reserves and strategy. A guide and defender becomes essential in these circumstances. Opening an oyster is not given to everyone !

Labour law has developed its own requirements well beyond the need of adequate contractual provisions and contracts. New provisions and standards are born, including those from a criminal, administrative and social nature (harassment, discrimination, protection of privacy, personal data, protection, risks, rights in the event of business transfers, accounting requirements, collective bargain agreements, private pension schemes etc.)

We provide our clients and other professionals, regardless their field of activity, with our expertise in the area of civil law, including any liquidation difficulties as consequences of their divorce, all questions of contractual and tort liability. The evolution of electronic communications and the Internet, as well as the increased development of electronic databases, increase the risk of proliferation of personal information which is erroneous or incomplete, a situation which may prove to be very harmful and generally inappropriate. We have a long standing experience in having your data "cleaned" which are not in relation to an evidenced reality or not otherwise justified, and claim damages if necessary on your behalf.

Our focus is on defence in the event of property, privacy and economic assault, road traffic offenses, reputational damage and tax fraud.
