Private International Law
The free circulation of goods, services and persons in the EU unavoidably triggers difficult situations where and when the competent jurisdiction and/or the applicable law has to be determined. The so-called „ conflict of laws” and „ conflict of jurisdictions” is a delicate area that more and more private individuals are nowadays confronted with. Couples with different nationality getting divorced in a third country or purchasing a real property; inharitance proceedings with legal successors spread around several locations; travellers getting in trouble during holidays spent abroad (stolen goods or car accident) ; expat employees seeking the protection of the labour law of the native country: a variety of complex situations where the applicable law and the national court/ country dealing with the case needs to be identified long before the problem is dealt with on the merits.
