My practice areas
I advise and represent clients primarily in property law, inheritance law and vehicle law. I combine personal attention with many years of experience and consistent representation of clients' interests in and out of court.
Property and construction law
A particular focus of my property practice is disputes between co-owners. I represent clients in litigation and in seeking an economically sound out-of-court solution.
My work includes:
- partition actions and defence against them;
- exclusion actions between co-owners;
- disputes between co-owners and condominium owners;
- problems involving the assessment of unit values and establishment of condominium ownership;
- buying and selling property;
- gifts and transfers of real estate;
- escrow arrangements;
- drafting and reviewing property agreements;
- land register matters;
- tenancy and housing law;
- estate agency law;
- property developer contract law;
- construction law and construction contracts;
- litigation concerning construction projects and defects.
I have particular experience in partition actions and other co-ownership conflicts and regularly address these legal issues in academic work.
Inheritance law
I advise and represent you in all major areas of inheritance law, from timely estate planning to inheritance litigation. My services include:
- enforcing inheritance-related claims and defending unjustified claims;
- representation in contested estates in and out of court;
- inheritance actions and contentious inheritance proceedings;
- enforcing and defending compulsory-share claims;
- calculating compulsory shares;
- advice on actions to partition an inheritance;
- representation in probate proceedings;
- advice on statutory and testamentary succession and declarations of acceptance of inheritance;
- drafting, registering and holding wills in safekeeping;
- estate planning and lifetime asset transfers;
- purchase and gift agreements, including gifts effective on death;
- waivers of inheritance and compulsory-share rights.
My aim is to prevent inheritance conflicts wherever possible. If litigation becomes necessary, I represent your interests consistently.
Vehicle law
I specialise in vehicle law and am also a trained motor mechanic. Alongside legal training, I therefore have sound technical knowledge. This can be particularly valuable when assessing vehicle defects and technically complex disputes.
I advise and represent private individuals, workshops and other automotive businesses, particularly on:
- technical defects after buying a car or motorcycle;
- statutory warranty and contractual guarantee claims;
- reversal or cancellation of vehicle purchase contracts;
- undisclosed accident, engine, gearbox or other vehicle damage;
- disputes with car dealers and workshops;
- legal problems between repair workshops and their customers;
- defective or disputed repairs;
- problems with leased vehicles and leasing companies;
- road traffic accidents;
- enforcing claims for damages and compensation for pain and suffering.
Where legal and technical issues overlap, my additional training enables a particularly thorough assessment of the facts.
Personal attention
I place particular emphasis on personal, direct advice focused on solutions. Every case is different, and the best legal solution must therefore be tailored to the individual circumstances.
