CIVIL LAW & ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Civil Law & Administrative Law
Civil Law forms the foundation of legal relationships that shape our personal, family and professional lives. Its scope ranges from the negotiation and execution of contracts to the defence of rights in court, ensuring fairness, justice and legal certainty in private relations.
We provide advice and representation in a wide range of matters, including:
Drafting, interpretation and enforcement of contracts (commercial, lease, service agreements, purchase and sale, among others);
Succession and inheritance law (wills, probate, division of estates);
Civil liability (claims for damages, both pecuniary and non-pecuniary);
Family law (divorce, parental responsibility arrangements, de facto unions);
Law of obligations and property rights (ownership, easements, usufruct, condominium law).
Administrative Law, in turn, governs the relationships between individuals, companies and public authorities. In this field, we provide specialised legal advice and represent clients in administrative and judicial proceedings concerning:
Challenging and annulment of unlawful administrative acts;
Compelling the Administration to perform legally required acts;
Contesting administrative regulations and rules;
Declarations of illegality due to omission;
Compensation for damages arising from unlawful administrative decisions;
Claims for State liability and liability of other public entities.
Our focus is on combining technical rigour with a preventive and assertive strategy, ensuring not only the protection of our clients’ fundamental rights but also effective action before public authorities and the courts.
