Practice area

Civil Law

We structure our clients’ contracts and property transactions, and represent them when disputes arise.

The practice

From drafting the contract to trying the case

The civil practice covers both sides of a legal relationship: the structuring that prevents disputes, and the client’s defense when one arrives.

It spans contracts, real estate and consumer matters, at the negotiating table and in court.

How we work

How we handle each matter

Understand

Before any legal theory, we learn the operation, the structure, the deadlines, the risks, and what is really at stake for the business and the people involved.

Decide

We lay out the options, with the cost, timing and risk of each. The decision is yours. Our recommendation goes in writing, along with the alternatives we considered.

Follow through

We carry out what was decided and keep you posted. If things change, you hear it from us first.

Common questions

What clients ask us

What kinds of contracts do you handle?

Civil and commercial agreements in general: services, supply, leases and real estate transactions, among others.

Do you work with mediation and arbitration?

Yes. We consider them whenever they offer a faster or cheaper path than court.

How do you decide between settling and litigating?

Cost, timing, exposure and the business relationship between the parties all weigh in. You get our recommendation in writing, alongside the alternatives and the risks of each.
