About
Provided by Sánchez DeVanny Eseverri, S.C.
The Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution practice group is recognized both within our firm and with our clients for its focus on dispute avoidance through its close involvement, participation, monitoring and follow-up with the other relevant areas of the firm and the firm’s clients in their day-to-day dealings and businesses. We work closely with all other practice groups to ensure clients receive a complete advisory service that allows to identify legal risks in any given operation or deal, the severity of these risks and the appropriate precautionary measures. Our practice group is a strong believer on investing in legal risk management and conflict prevention, as litigation is not ultimately in our client’s best interests.
We advise clients in the review and audit of documents related to commercial and credit transactions of companies and individuals (e.g. purchase agreements, purchase orders, securities, etc.) for strengthening their effectiveness in trial; analysis and improvement of operational protocols to reduce risks derived from the lack of payment and/or delivery of products or services; in mediation and conciliation procedures that precede a judicial case or arbitration process; enforcement and implementation of collection strategies and out-of-court contractual compliance; general counseling and representation in litigation, enforcement of agreements, securities, penalties, among others.
