Civil Law

Civil law is present in almost everything: a contract that is not honoured, an accident, damage caused by others, an unpaid debt.

Frequently asked questions

Questions that deserve
straight answers

Is it worth taking a case to court?

It depends on the evidence, the amount at stake and the other party’s situation. We make that assessment with you before any decision.

Someone owes me money. What is the fastest route?

If the debt is documented, a payment order (injunção) is often the quickest option. We review the documents and recommend the right route.

I was in a road accident. Can I claim compensation?

Yes, for the damage suffered. We handle the claim with the insurer and, if necessary, in court.
