The Family Law and Family Business Department of Belzuz Abogados S.L.P., comes from the great vocation of its Partner and Director for Spain and Portugal, Clara Belzuz Fernández, and from its other members of the department, Emilio Perez Labrador and Katia Harling. They have always felt a special sensitivity and concern for all problems derived from family break-ups, in all matters relating to the protection of children and equality between the members of the couple, also providing assistance in all situations involving foreign jurisdictions, including from the perspective of planning and anticipation of alternative successions.

The Family and Family Business Law Department of Belzuz Abogados is at your disposal:

• The design of a defence strategy, through the analysis and preparation of legal reports prior to the proceedings;
• Our best know-how and skills in negotiating between the parties;
• Negotiations to achieve regulatory agreements according to the will and interests of the parties;
• Our experience and knowledge in drafting contracts and agreements, even the most complex ones that sometimes take several years of conflict;
• Acting through mediation, as well as before the Courts when necessary;
• Our sensitivity and better treatment of privacy, given the special and intimate nature of most of the subjects dealt with in this discipline.

Our high degree of specialization, preparation and accredited experience (over 30 years) allows us to provide a service of the highest quality. One of the most important values of the Family Law and Family Business team is professionalism, commitment and personalized attention, focusing its activity on the areas of Civil, Canon, Criminal and International Law.

The growing demand for services related to Family Law and Family Business, as well as the particularity and specialization required by these areas, have driven the need to create a new department at Belzuz Abogados Spain, in which the different issues related to these matters are worked on and studied in a differentiated manner.

Our department provides legal advice, both judicial and out-of-court, being able to give answers to the issues of Family and Inheritance Law, including the management of family assets, as well as to the issues of Family Business Law or Family Governance Law that aim to support and give answers to all the questions related to companies and family businesses.

In order to adapt to the needs of our clients, it has been expanding its areas of advice, always within the framework of Family and Family Business Law, to criminal and corporate matters, private international law, as well as tax and financial advice to individuals and families.

Clara Belzuz is also member of the Spanish Association of Family Lawyers (AEAFA) which is a non-profit organization that brings together the vast majority of family lawyers in Spain.
