Professional Legal Services

Comprehensive legal support in cross-border matters: family, inheritance, property

Navigating international law — professionally, ethically, with guaranteed results

We offer professional legal assistance in complex matters involving overlapping jurisdictions, legal systems, and personal circumstances.
My role as an attorney is not merely to know the rules, but to apply conflict-of-law principles, international conventions, bilateral treaties, and case law effectively. I ensure lawful and predictable protection of clients‘ interests across multiple countries.
