Step by step, with method.
Each step documented, with clear deadlines and responsibilities from first contact.
Evidence gathering
Documentary collection, technical expertise and notarial deed to ensure evidentiary strength.
Strategic analysis
We define the most efficient path: notice, civil, criminal or multiple parallel fronts.
Out-of-court notice
In many cases, a well-grounded notice ends the practice without litigation.
Judicial action
When needed, injunctive request with provisional relief, indemnity and seizure.
Judgment enforcement
We secure effective execution and quantification of damages.
Settlement or conclusion
We mediate settlements when grounded, or take cases to final judgment.
