Law of Persons and Civil Rights
Forming the cornerstone of Civil Law, the Law of Persons is a vital field regulating an individual’s place in the legal order from birth to death, capacities, rights, and the establishment and structuring of legal entities. Our firm provides specialized legal consultancy and litigation services in processes regarding natural persons’ legal capacity, capacity to act, protection of name, guardianship, curatorship, and protection against infringements of personal rights, as well as legal entities’ establishment, corporate body structures, and corporate governance disputes.
The protection of the individual’s legal subjectivity, the safeguarding of their honor, dignity, privacy, and fundamental personal values beyond property are the most essential requirements of a modern state governed by the rule of law. We conduct a meticulous legal practice in protection lawsuits (actions for cessation, prevention, and damages) filed against unlawful attacks targeting personal rights, as well as in restriction and guardianship processes.
Our core services in the practice area of the Law of Persons include:
- Capacity disputes of natural persons (capacity of discernment, restriction of capacity to act, and age correction lawsuits).
- Pecuniary and non-pecuniary compensation lawsuits and access-blocking procedures against attacks on personal rights (honor, dignity, privacy, and image rights).
- Tracking lawsuits for the change, correction, and protection of names and surnames before Civil Courts of First Instance.
- Disputes arising from guardianship, curatorship, and legal consultancy institutions, and objection processes against decisions of guardianship authorities.
- Legal management of the establishment, internal audit, body disputes, and dissolution processes of legal entities, particularly associations and foundations.
- Resolution of status law disputes such as gender reassignment lawsuits, establishment of descent, and denial of paternity.
