International

International affairs

LYS Advocaten provides advice and support in matters that have international aspects. This is usually the case if you have either married abroad, and/or lived abroad for an extended period, or if you own assets in multiple locations around the world.

Which law applies?

An important question that arises in international situations is which law applies. And who gets to decide that? Is that a Dutch judge or a judge abroad? And can the decision of a foreign court be enforced in the Netherlands? These are complex issues that vary from situation to situation.

Extensive international knowledge and experience

At LYS Lawyers, we have extensive international knowledge and experience to advise you on your situation. For example, we draft our agreements in English. In doing so, we take into account that (parts of) the agreements will be executed abroad. We tailor the agreements accordingly. This requires knowledge of foreign law, foreign taxes and pension regulations, etc. In that context, we cooperate with foreign experts if necessary.
