International Private Law

We have a team specialising in International Private Law, particularly given the effects of the new Code of International Private Law instated by Law no. 1.448 of 28 June 2017 that came into effect on 7 July 2017.

We provide advisory and litigation services for any civil dispute involving private individuals and an element of foreign law (jurisdiction, governing law or conflict of laws).

Our areas of expertise include:

• Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and public documents
• Marriage contracts and matrimonial property settlements
• Divorce and legal separation
• Filiation and child support
• Estate and inheritance planning
• Representation and support for trustees in civil and criminal courts

Most of our associates were trained abroad, and today we offer our clients solid language skills in nine different languages (French, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Arabic).

We have also developed our own international network of specialist firms and counsels, with whom we regularly work on cross-border cases, usually involving parallel proceedings in several different jurisdictions.
