Family businesses
At FAIRWAY, we understand that a family business operates differently. The dynamics within a family business are unique, and the intertwining of family ties and business policy requires a different, sensitive approach that is both legally sharp and humanly considered. As partners in law and mediation, we guide not only the business but also the family within and behind the business, with respect for mutual relationships, values, and long-term goals.
Expertise in family businesses: from establishment to succession, covering governance and wealth planning to conflict resolution.
Mediation as leverage: at FAIRWAY, we believe that sustainable solutions are not reached through the courts but through dialogue. Especially within family businesses, we focus on mediation and amicable solutions.
Long-term vision: FAIRWAY thinks along with you about the entry of the next generation, growth plans, family governance, and a family charter.
Thanks to decades of experience across various legal domains, our multidisciplinary team provides thoughtful guidance at every stage of a legal process, from initial advice to completion.
- Business & Contract Law: We assist businesses in drafting clear contracts and general terms and conditions to protect their rights. We also provide support in negotiations, mediations, and dispute proceedings. Business law matters such as share transfers and business structuring are also part of our expertise.
- Construction Law & Real Estate: Construction projects and real estate transactions often bring complex legal questions. We advise and represent developers, architects, contractors, and other involved parties in purchase-sale disputes, construction problems, and liability issues. Thanks to our experience, we ensure clear agreements and sustainable solutions.
- Insurance and Liability Law: When damage occurs, we guide you in determining liability and recovering damages. We assist in drafting and defending claims and always seek fair, legally sound solutions, whether you are the injured party or the one being pursued.
- Intellectual Property Rights (IP) and GDPR: We help you protect your intellectual property such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights. In case of infringements, we act quickly and effectively. We also advise businesses on GDPR obligations and guide them in implementing compliant data protection policies.
- Employment and Social Law: We provide assistance to both employers and employees in employment law disputes and advise businesses on their social law obligations. Consider drafting work regulations, salary policies, dismissal files, or workplace wellbeing. Our goal: a legally compliant and workable solution.
- Tenancy Law: We advise tenants and landlords in residential and commercial tenancy disputes. From drafting balanced rental contracts to defending your rights in proceedings: we provide a thoughtful legal approach, always with an eye for practical feasibility.
- Traffic and Criminal Law: In case of traffic offences or criminal prosecution, we assist you with advice, support during interrogations, and defense before the court. We ensure you are well-informed and that your rights are maximally protected, even if you are the victim.
- Family Law: In sensitive family matters for family businesses such as divorces, parentage issues, adoption, or guardianship, we provide committed and expert guidance. We strive for humane and acceptable solutions, preferably through mediation, but with decisive action in proceedings when necessary.
- Inheritance Law: We guide you in succession planning, drafting wills or gifts, and settling estates. We ensure your wishes are correctly documented and that heirs understand their rights and obligations well, guaranteeing a flawless transfer to future generations and optimal use of tax opportunities. We also assist you with expertise in proceedings.
- Debt Recovery: We help businesses efficiently recover outstanding debts in both B2C and B2B contexts. From reminders to legal steps: we offer a thoughtful and professional approach aimed at cash flow recovery without unnecessary escalation.
- Mediation: We fully embrace mediation as an alternative to traditional dispute resolution and mediate in family, civil, commercial, and social conflicts. This approach often leads to faster, cheaper, less burdensome, and relationally more sustainable solutions. As a neutral third party, we guide parties toward a shared agreement while preserving future relationships.
- Healthcare Law: FAIRWAY has a specific focus on legal assistance for healthcare professionals, primarily aimed at doctors. We advise and support in disciplinary cases, collaborations, liability issues, and all other legal challenges that the healthcare landscape brings.
These areas of expertise serve both (family) businesses and individual directors and family members, whether they are active within the business. FAIRWAY is the trusted partner for everyone connected to your enterprise.
Because we know and understand your family context, we can respond more quickly, advise more precisely, and provide tailored solutions with an eye for the whole and for the people behind it.
