Civil Law and Litigation

At Unit LEGAL we prioritize preventive legal services. For this reason, our main focus is the ongoing support of our Clients, through the provision of advice and counseling with a view to optimizing their activity and minimizing the risk of conflicts.

Our collaboration and advice is particularly relevant:

  • In the preparation and review of contracts;
  • In negotiations with business partners, whether in concluding contracts or resolving potential disputes;
  • In the assessment and resolution of conflicts.

When litigation is unavoidable, our main focus is to help the Client obtain a quick resolution, ensuring that the solution found is the one that best serves the Client’s interests.

The Unit LEGAL team has extensive experience in civil, commercial, corporate and insurance litigation, particularly in actions and disputes arising from:

  • Breach of contract;
  • Extra-contractual liability;
  • General contractual clauses;
  • Corporate conflicts;
  • Collection and judicial recovery of credits.

In recent years, we have also worked more actively in institutional arbitration and ad-hoc arbitration.

The fact that we are part of a worldwide network of law firms allows us to provide our Clients with legal advice and support in international legal disputes.

The Civil Law and Litigation department is coordinated by Ana Mónica Almeida.
