Family Law

People involved in personal problems and family affairs prefer to settle these without third-party intervention. However, there are some situations which cannot be resolved through informal channels.

Either because relations have become too strained, or people can no longer cope with the problems and consequences, or the interests involved are too great.In such cases, a good advisor is indispensable: an advisor who not only has in-depth legal knowledge but who can also sympathise with the personal and emotional side of the matter.

Advice, support and assistance
If your personal affairs take on legal aspects, our lawyers can provide you with advice, support and assistance. The AKD lawyers specialising in family law are at the top of the tree in this legal area. And their personal involvement with you and your affairs is just as important. Their sincere commitment will make it easier for you to discuss confidential details. That's how we can help you in a wide range of matters such as divorce, issues relating to inheritance law and disputes on children or parental access.

Meeting the people in our team
Although AKD is a large legal firm, it is still characterised by our extremely personal approach. Our Law of Persons and Family Law practice group comprises a small close-knit team of lawyers who cooperate closely with one another. We feel it is of the first importance to establish good contact between our staff and our clients. There is a strong sense of 'family' in our practice group: we combine this personal approach with the advantages of a large firm specialising in a wide range of legal areas.

Legal fields
AKD's Law of Persons and Family Law practice group can provide you with in-depth knowledge and experience in a wide range of legal areas. In addition to matters relating to divorce, inheritance or children, we have specialised know-how on innumerable other issues.
