ANNE REISER LAW FIRM
Attorneys-at-law before the Geneva Bar
Life is what happens to you when you had planned something else.
Families are built, decomposed and recomposed.
- Family transitions can sometimes be difficult to handle.
Swiss and International family law sometimes lack coherence.
- Some people do not have access to legal proceedings affecting them.
- Other people feel that only their monetised worth matters.
- The interplay of applicable laws often leads to unexpected results, particularly in international cases.
- Children provide paths to solutions as much as avenues for conflicts. Applicable laws can make children hostages of poorly resolved conflicts between parents.
Fields of activity
All of the above areas in Swiss and International matters
Family Law including contracts, companies, trusts and pension assets
Children Law
- Matrimonial Law and Property Law
- Contract Law and Corporate Law
Family law for same-sex couples, including the reproductive rights
- Criminal law related to these areas
Fathers’ rights
Domestic violence
Gender discrimination in the family context
We do everything we can to build an authentic, collaborative relationship with our clients in order to obtain, with them, the best possible results, using all the legal avenues available to us.
Swiss law favours freedom of contract in family relations by giving effect to family conventions. These conventions can include elements of foreign law, and be tailored to reflect the dignity of the people who have built unique family bonds between themselves. Once concluded, these conventions can be perfected into court judgments enforceable in Switzerland and other jurisdictions.
Some people do not have access to proceedings affecting them.
