As head of our family law team, Dr. Tim Schlun is responsible, among other things, for drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements and providing divorce advice. In this context, the issue of alimony (child support, separation and post-marital maintenance) and parental custody and access rights usually need to be clarified.

In the case of international marriages, the first question to be answered is which law applies at all and what needs to be done to obtain recognition of a foreign divorce in Germany or a German divorce abroad. Furthermore, the question arises as to whether maintenance obligations retain their legal force across borders and what rights and responsibilities apply here concerning access and custody rights.

With Dr. Schlun, you know that you have a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer at your side who will assert your rights with determination and sensitivity. In family matters, he always strives for a solution that considers the children’s best interests.

A relatively uncommon but increasingly popular legal construct is the family office, whose primary purpose is the optimised structuring and management of family assets. Dr. Schlun supports you in the implementation of a family office by creating an individual concept of asset structuring and management that is tailored to your personal needs and goals and relieves you from many tasks of daily business.

He ensures efficient structuring of your family assets, takes over the drafting and reviewing of shareholder and employment agreements and clarifies all corporate and tax law issues relating to investments. Dr. Schlun attaches particular importance to a close relationship of trust with his clients. This proximity is the only way to build a reliable family office that reflects the structure and core values of your family business and is based on a stable foundation.

He developed his passion for construction and real estate law while working as a project manager in the family business of the Baugruppe Schlun, a medium-sized construction company near Aachen. As the author of numerous professional articles, he became a sought-after expert in this field.
