What We Do
Areas of Practice

Family Law
Family breakdown is rarely simple—children, finances, and futures hang in the balance. We litigate contested divorces, custody and parenting disputes, child and spousal support, access, asset and property division. We also handle marriage contracts, appeals, and international family matters. When negotiation fails, we're in your corner.

Youth Protection (DPJ)
We represent parents, children, and extended family—from Youth Protection reports ("signalements") to Department of Youth Protection (DYP/DPJ) investigations and Youth Division hearings. We protect parental authority and advocate for the child's best interests.

Estate & Succession Disputes
We handle will contests, capacity challenges, undue influence claims, and disputes over disinheritance and forced heirship. We also remove negligent liquidators and recover misappropriated assets.

Animal Law & Pet Defense
Animal law disputes often intersect with family law (pet custody in divorce), estate litigation (animals in succession), and constitutional challenges (breed bans and discriminatory bylaws). We coordinate across these systems to protect both animal welfare and owner rights.
