Family and Succession Law is certainly one of the most delicate and complex areas of law. It encompasses a multitude of emotions, feelings, and the most precious assets in people’s lives, while Property Planning is the key to preserving family property (individual or family business).

Such areas therefore encompass the well-being of generations and the perpetuation of their businesses, both in life and after the loss of loved ones. Dealing with such matters requires, in addition to the vast technical capacity and experience of the legal operator, a great deal of sensitivity and skill in legal counseling, since intimate and complex issues will be faced, which cause great emotional and psychological stress to those involved.

With this in mind, our firm has an extremely qualified, experienced, and facilitating team that always aims for maximum prevention and better conflict resolution. It has a strong consulting and litigation practice, acting in a practical and multidisciplinary way.
