CIVIL LITIGATION
Our team works not only on preventing but also on preparing for and handling civil and commercial disputes of different types and levels of complexity. We advise clients across a wide range of sectors and industries on matters of strategic and financial significance, including issues related to contracts, commerce, real estate, consumer relations, technology, debt recovery, corporate disputes, and other areas and facets of private law.
Our practice encompasses analyzing conflicts and their associated risks, defining strategies, and handling legal proceedings at all levels, including direct participation in hearings, negotiations, and mediations, as well as meetings with judges, drafting of legal briefs, and presenting oral arguments before the courts.
We work in an integrated manner with other areas of the firm to develop solutions that consider not only the legal aspects of the dispute, but also its business, corporate, tax, asset-related and reputational impacts. Our practice is tailored to the specific circumstances of each case and our clients’ objectives, including with a view to preventing or bringing a consensual resolution to conflicts.
