Civil law differs from criminal law and is characterised in two main areas: the lodging of various types of claims (financial, injunctions, etc.) and the securing of rights (land registration, patents, age declarations etc.)
Civil law is usually divided into so-called private and commercial law. Private civil law is mainly concerned with contract and tort claims between individuals, while commercial law mainly governs claims against banks, dealings with cheques and various corporate matters.
The practice of civil law (but also criminal law, of course) entails attention to the proverbial smaller details, "where God is to be discovered", for it is just those fine points that can make all the difference between losing and winning a case.
Our firm represents plaintiffs and defendants in the various areas of civil law as well as specialising in the registration of all manner of rights and entitlements with the various authorities.
