Your team
The team is multidisciplinary, and we combine our skills
and experience because we have our clients’ best interests at heart.
You have questions. We are here to help you.
How should I go about it and in what order?
It is important when the decision to separate is taken to quickly consult your advisor in order to make a global diagnosis of your personal situation (children, assets), and your professional situation (company).
How long will the procedure last?
When meeting with your family law attorney, your lawyer will advise you on the various procedures available to you. Well informed, you are free to choose the procedure best suited to your situation, whether it is amicable or contentious (divorce by mutual consent, accepted divorce, divorce for definitive alteration of the conjugal relationship).
How do I protect my business?
With on our experience in commercial matters, in corporate law and in tax law, we are ready to guide you towards solutions that will preserve your business while making sure it keeps on growing.
How much does a divorce cost?
The cost of the procedure will depend on whether you opt for an amicable procedure or a contentious procedure. Depending on the choice of procedure, we will be able to adapt the price in accordance with the needs of the procedure.
Before any intervention, a fee agreement is sent to the client following a personal and professional patrimonial assessment.
I heard about a way to get a divorce without a judge. Would that be possible in my case? Is it possible?
Trained in collaborative law but also in mediation, we can help you find solutions that will bring you peace of mind.
In partnership with your spouse and his or her counsel, we will draw up a divorce agreement with you, setting out the terms and conditions of your separation with regard to your children, your assets and your professional property.
The amicable divorce executed by an attorney (to which a notarial deed of liquidation will be attached in the case of undivided or common real estate) will be simply filed and recorded without going before a judge.
