Dealing with international law issues is an integral part of our work, both for companies and individuals.
Determining which court has jurisdiction to resolve a dispute (conflict of jurisdictions) and the law applicable to the resolution of the dispute (conflict of laws) are at the heart of international law.
We offer our clients who are international couples advice on French international family law. Early intervention enables future spouses to be fully informed and to make a well-considered choice as to the law that will govern their marriage, as well as to choose a matrimonial regime that best protects their interests. What’s more, our advice enables prospective spouses to fully understand the rights and obligations arising from the marriage and the birth of children, and to be fully informed of the legal consequences of its potential dissolution.
In the event of property disputes between spouses on the dissolution of marriage, we provide representation and assistance before the courts, ensuring maximum protection of our clients’ interests.
In partnership with our foreign colleagues, and if the interests of the case so require, we also intervene before foreign jurisdictions, including the courts of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other countries.
