Career
From insolvency to inheritance
Today he works mainly on inheritance, the division of estates and property law. He also handles criminal cases, insolvency, family law and legal advice to companies.
This mix goes back to the start of his career. He began with insolvency cases and, from there, moved on to company matters and personal disputes.
That is why he is often given cases where the two sides meet: a family business being split up, an estate that includes a company, or a separation in which the business is the couple's main asset.
“The essence, the difficulty and the nobility of advocacy is to stay always, without hesitation, on the last step of the stairs, beside your client.”
