If neighbours violate against public law, in particular against building code requirements, you can proceed civilly against your neighbours. However, you can also engage the planning authority, so that those interfere. Both claims are independent of each other.

We help you to make the relevant proposals and to enter objections, if the authorities do not act or do not act lawfully.

Before you start a dispute with your neighbor, you should inform yourself about your rights and obligations. Neighbourly relations consist for years and often a lifetime. Hasty actions destroy this relationship.

However, of course you do not have to tolerate everything what neighbours like to. Some commercial use is incompatible with the character of your residential area. Some plants affect your plot and some livestock must not be tolerated.

We provide comprehensive advice, so that you can exercise your rights properly and in time.

In neighbourly disputes, the legislator provides that you need to perform extra-judicial conciliation proceedings before a judicial proceeding. The legislature hopes that that way court disputes are avoided, because even after a lawsuit, the neighbors must live side by side.

We ask for the implementation of an arbitration procedure before the competent arbitrator and represent you in this process.

Please keep in mind that you do not have to commit yourself in an arbitration if you do not want it. However, should you agree with your neighbour the once made compromise is as binding as an agreement in court.
In order to avoid any mistakes, we will assist you.
