International private law, in all its branches, is an independent legal field that requires those practicing it to possess a specific set of skills, knowledge and expertise. Globalization, while constantly opening new opportunities also presents new challenges. Legal issues that are complicated enough within the boundaries of one country, become particularly complex when the client’s issues or interests lie overseas. The client meets problems caused by distance, language and culture differences, different legal systems including unfamiliar foreign laws and procedures. All these seem to be insurmountable. Examples are numerous and varied: A commercial creditor wonders what is the best way to recover the debt from a debtor in a foreign country? where and how he should sue? are the efforts worth the costs? An attorney deliberates if the judgment he acquired in favour of his client will be recognized and enforced in the respondent’s country? While making an offer to a client overseas, an exporter wants to insert the best safeguards in the event of a breach of the agreement. An investor considering the purchase of property may wish to be aware of the prevalent legal atmosphere. Due to  our international partnerships  we offer solutions to all these problems and  many others in over 100 countries, diligently and professionally. Personal contacts with our clients are very important to us. Many of our clients have been with us for over 30 years.
