Corporativo e Comercial
Our corporate and commercial team supports entrepreneurs, shareholders and companies with clear, business-minded legal advice in the Netherlands and in cross-border situations involving Spain and Italy. We help clients structure, protect and grow their businesses by drafting and negotiating contracts that reduce risk and by advising on governance, decision-making and stakeholder responsibilities. When disputes arise, we act decisively—whether the goal is a workable settlement, urgent interim relief, or proceedings before the court or an arbitral tribunal. We combine legal precision with practical strategy, so our clients can move forward with confidence and control.
Família
We advise individuals and families in emotionally complex situations, with a strong focus on practical solutions and a careful balance between firmness and sensitivity. Our family law work often has an international dimension, particularly where spouses or children have ties to multiple countries. We guide clients through divorce, financial settlements, parenting arrangements and cross-border enforcement questions, always keeping the long-term interests of children and the client’s future stability at the center. When negotiation is possible we pursue it efficiently; when litigation is necessary we provide robust representation and clear direction at every step.
Emprego e Trabalho
Our employment law practice helps employers and employees navigate the full lifecycle of the employment relationship, from contract drafting and compliance to conflict resolution and termination. We provide strategic guidance that is legally sound and commercially realistic, particularly when time pressure or reputational sensitivity matters. We assist with workplace disputes, internal investigations, settlement negotiations and court proceedings, including urgent cases where immediate action is required. For international businesses operating across the Netherlands, Spain and Italy, we also offer coordinated support to manage cross-border workforce issues consistently and effectively.
Defesa Criminal
We provide decisive criminal defence and strategic advice from the earliest stage of an investigation through trial and appeal. Our approach is focused on safeguarding rights, challenging evidence and building a strong, coherent defence strategy tailored to the facts and the client’s personal and professional interests. We assist in urgent situations such as arrest, searches or detention, and we handle complex matters involving financial allegations or cross-border elements. Where appropriate, we also advise victims and injured parties on their position in criminal proceedings and on compensation possibilities.
Imobiliário
We represent both landlords and tenants in residential and commercial tenancy matters, with an emphasis on fast, effective solutions and a strong understanding of practical realities. We advise on lease drafting, risk allocation and dispute prevention, and we act when problems escalate—whether the issue concerns rent arrears, termination, eviction, defects or service charge conflicts. Our team is experienced in negotiations and court proceedings, including urgent measures when immediate relief is necessary. The goal is always to protect the client’s position while keeping costs, time and disruption under control.
Cliente Privado
Our inheritance practice supports clients in both planning and dispute situations, including estates with international connections. We advise heirs, executors and beneficiaries on their rights and obligations, help structure estates to reduce uncertainty, and guide clients through probate and settlement processes. When disagreements arise—over asset distribution, valuation, hidden assets or executor conduct—we aim for a solution that is legally sound and workable, while being ready to litigate when necessary. We combine technical expertise with a practical mindset, so clients can resolve inheritance matters efficiently and with clarity.
Seguro
We assist individuals and businesses in insurance matters where coverage, causation or liability is contested. Our work includes analysing policy terms, advising on claim strategy, and challenging denials or inadequate settlements. We represent clients in negotiations with insurers and, when needed, in litigation to enforce coverage or to recover losses. Because insurance disputes often involve technical documents and strict timelines, we focus on clear case-building, strong written submissions and a structured approach that increases the chance of a successful outcome.
