Housing
Most expats would agree that after signing that much desired contract, the next priority is finding proper housing. Finding a house or an apartment that will keep everybody happy is a tricky issue, anyway. Even more so, when one needs to view the property, negotiate and sign the lease or the purchasing contract with very limited linguistic and legal awareness, in a foreign country. Let Legal Expat Desk support you.

Liability
Liability law is based on the principle that everyone should bear his or her own losses. Just as every rule, this one has many exceptions in which the responsibility of the consequences can be shifted onto another person. Legal Expat Desk will advise, mediate and negotiate in all cases where liability issues are imminent.

Administrative law
Governmental bodies are involved in nearly all aspects of a daily life. When government policies collide with the interests of private individuals and one gets possibly intertwined in the maze of legal regulations, the Legal Expat Desk experts know how to reach the envisioned goal in the shortest possible way.
