Litigation and Private Relations

Civil Law

Civil liability, real estate law, obligations and family relations.

Civil law is the base on which the other private legal relations rest: what is owed, to whom, for how long and with what consequences. It ranges from the collection of a debt to compensation for harm and the dissolution of a family bond.

Situations the area handles

  • Material, moral or reputational harm caused by a third party.
  • Breach of an obligation and the need for collection or enforcement.
  • Property sale with a defective title, a discrepant area or unpermitted construction.
  • Lease agreement in arrears, with the need for eviction or a rent review.
  • Adverse possession, registry correction and land title regularization.
  • Divorce, division of assets, custody and support.
  • Estate inventory and division, judicial or extrajudicial.

What the work produces

  • Damages, collection, enforcement and payment order actions.
  • Possessory, eviction, lease renewal and rent review actions.
  • Deeds, real estate contracts and registry regularization.
  • Family law actions, divorce settlements and parenting plans.
  • Extrajudicial and summary probate.
  • Defense in damages and collection actions.

When to seek it

As soon as a deadline is running — limitation and forfeiture periods cannot be recovered. In real estate, before signature: reviewing the documents before the deal avoids arguing over the deal.
