Newera Law Firm deals with all issues related to the holding of the family’s assets and or inheritance (Société civile immobilière (French family property company) , companies, dismemberment of property, etc),

its transmission (transmission by donation, or inter vivos distribution, donations between spouses, change of matrimonial regimes). In addition, the liquidation of the family’s assets and or inheritance in the case of separation or divorce and finally its protection (mandate for future protection).

The growing diversity of individuals has led to an increase in international relations in the field of private law, particularly in the area of family law, to the point where family relations are very rarely linked to a single country (expatriations, mixed marriages or marriages celebrated abroad, births and deaths abroad, presence of assets in several countries, etc.).

Knowledge of the rules of Private International Family Law, European private international law
(main European regulations) and international conventions is crucial to determine the law applicable to family disputes as well as to determine the jurisdictions that will have competence to hear the dispute.

Newera Law Firm, competent in international divorce matters, advises its clients residing in France or its French clients residing abroad in the context of family law disputes where there is a foreign element.

Some breaches committed within the family unit can fully justify an action before the criminal courts.

Criminal law intervenes in family matters to punish reprehensible behaviour (harassment, physical or psychological violence, threats, etc.)

or in the event of non-compliance with decisions issued by civil courts (non-representation of a child, family abandonment, etc.).

NEWERA assists its clients, both perpetrators and victims, in criminal proceedings related to family conflicts.  For the most severe cases, NEWERA has a network of specialized criminal lawyers with whom they work in close collaboration.

NEWERA assists individuals who find themselves in a vulnerable situation due to an alteration in their physical and/or mental faculties and who, as a result, are no longer able to look after their interests alone.

NEWERA also advises families affected by the vulnerability of one of their members or that of a close relative. We help them choose the most appropriate measure for the situation of vulnerability and to implement the procedure related thereof. 

It is possible, under certain conditions, to change the first name, the family name and the mention of sex on the civil status certificates.

NEWERA assists its clients in the process of changing their name and assists them in the steps to be taken to change their first name and sex in civil status records.

In a family crisis situation, and particularly in the presence of minor children, NEWERA favors amicable agreements when this approach is compatible with the defense of its clients’ interests.

In order to achieve this, the firm offers its clients the possibility of using various alternative modes of dispute resolution in order to reach a lasting solution.
