Working Languages: Guidance and Procedures
"Borders are fading away. Rights, however, remain deeply rooted in each territory."
That is precisely where the difficulty lies—and where expert guidance is needed. A French-American couple getting a divorce with assets on two continents, a family moving to Indonesia, an estate spanning Paris and Tunis: these situations are no longer exceptions.
OUR INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
Expertise built on
more than 20 years of experience
in France and abroad.

She coordinates the rest.
THE REALITIES OF TODAY'S FAMILIES
These situations are becoming increasingly common,
and the issues involved are often misunderstood.
I.
Mixed-Race Couples
Two nationalities, two legal systems. From the moment the couple forms a relationship, they must plan ahead regarding the law applicable to their matrimonial property regime and inheritance.
II.
Expat Families
A job transfer, moving abroad. Every change of residence has implications for the marital property regime, taxation, and the children’s situation.
III.
Cross-Border Heritage Sites
As soon as assets cross borders, the issue of applicable law and tax optimization becomes central—and urgent.
IV.
International Inheritance Cases
The death of a relative living abroad gives rise to a particularly complex estate that requires planning well in advance.
AREAS OF FOCUS
Family and Estate Law:
s Without Borders.
International Divorce & Separation
Divorce between spouses of different nationalities is one of the most complex situations in private international law.
Children & Parental Authority
The situation of children in cases of international separation is the most sensitive issue in cross-border proceedings.
International Matrimonial Property Regimes
The legal framework applicable to an international couple should be chosen and planned well in advance of any crisis.
Cross-Border Inheritance
An international estate involves multiple national legal systems and tax regimes. Planning ahead is essential.
International Heritage
Structuring and transferring assets spread across multiple countries requires a comprehensive approach coordinated with local experts.
Parentage & International Adoption
Issues of parentage are increasingly crossing borders, particularly in cases of assisted reproductive technology (ART) abroad.
"Each case embodies its own unique geography, culture, and relationship to the law."
