International Expertise.
With the increasing ease of international travel, it is very common for families to have lived or worked in more than one country, and for couples to hold different nationalities or to own assets overseas.
This can lead to complex and potentially urgent legal issues if the parties separate, for instance the need to issue a Petition for Divorce quickly in order to secure jurisdiction in this country if there is a risk of your spouse issuing a Petition in a less favourable jurisdiction, or to freeze assets in another jurisdiction to prevent their dissipation.
All members of our team have experience in international disputes.
We are also founding members of the Cicero League of International Lawyers and have easy and quick access to expertise across the globe.
