Most civil disputes end in settlement. The point is to reach that negotiation with your position already built rather than improvised, because how well you can settle depends on what was done in the first moves of the case.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before the first meeting
How long do I have to bring a claim for an accident or other damage?
- The general rule in the Civil and Commercial Code is three years for a damages claim, running from when the damage becomes known. Some situations carry their own deadlines, so it is worth checking against the specific case. In practice the real limit arrives sooner: evidence disappears far faster than the deadline.
How long does an estate take to settle in Mendoza?
- An estate with no dispute between heirs and with the assets identified usually settles within months. Where there is disagreement, assets in other provinces or heirs who cannot be found, it stretches out. The delay almost always comes from missing paperwork rather than from the court.
Is it better to go to trial or to settle?
- Most civil disputes end in settlement, so the question is not whether to negotiate but from what position. What was done in the first moves of the case determines how much room is left later. Negotiating before the case has been built means negotiating downwards.
What should I bring to the first consultation?
- Everything that documents the relationship and the damage: contract, invoices, messages, police report, expert reports, repair estimates and medical records if there were injuries. With that in hand we can say in the same meeting whether there is a case and roughly what it is worth.
