Dispute Resolution

We represent our clients in disputes concerning the performance, interpretation, and termination of commercial contracts. Whether dealing with conflicts between business partners, contractual liabilities, or litigation related to distribution, agency, or franchise agreements, we develop tailored strategies that combine negotiation, interim measures, and legal proceedings to effectively defend their interests.

Tensions between shareholders, challenges to corporate decisions, and disputes involving the liability of directors and company officers require an expert and rigorous approach. We assist our clients in litigation concerning corporate governance, breaches of shareholders’ agreements, abuse of majority or minority rights, and directors’ liability claims.

Inheritance matters involving private estates or family businesses can give rise to complex disputes. We represent clients in actions aimed at enforcing statutory heirship rights and in conflicts over estate division, particularly where heirs challenge the valuation or allocation of estate assets.

Disputes arising from construction contracts often require preliminary measures such as obtaining legal mortgages for craftsmen and contractors to secure their legal claims. We handle all stages of these disputes, as well as lease-related matters, whether for residential or commercial leases.

In situations requiring immediate intervention, we seek super-provisional and provisional measures before the courts to protect our clients’ rights. These urgent actions include seizures, prohibitions on disposal or management actions, legal mortgages, and various types of injunctions.
