Civil law
Civil law governs everyday life — buying, giving, renting, inheriting and damage. We draft and review contracts and represent you in disputes when the other side will not agree.
What we do

A contract is cheaper to write well than to litigate later. We go through what the contract must secure for you and put it into the text.
In disputes over ownership, damages or inheritance we represent you in court and look for an out-of-court solution as well.

How long do I have to bring a claim?
The general limitation period in civil law is three years from the moment the right could first be exercised. Some claims have special periods — it is worth checking in time.
