7 AREAS OF EXPERTISE

To defend the hard-earned advantage or to implement new business strategies, we know that our clients need effective and energetic advice based on tips that are pragmatic and creative. Backed by demonstrable experience of success, we at SLJ are experts in the following areas of activity:
CIVIL LITIGATION
The resolution of civil or patrimonial legal conflicts requires a high degree of knowledge and specialization. In SLJ Abogados we are experts in resolving highly complex litigation.
COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
Litigation between companies requires analysis and prior study of the specific case in order to design a strategy for both litigation and pre-litigation. Our legal advice covers all phases of the procedure until the resolution of the corporate or commercial conflict.
BANKRUPTCY
Companies that are in a situation of insolvency have to adopt a different mentality from that required for times of growth. When short-term survival is the immediate objective, the priority is to have a clear strategy and know how to execute it. We have extensive experience in insolvency proceedings and understand the pressures and priorities of the struggling business.

The activity of any company is today under scrutiny by the State. Our firm specializes in both the prevention of criminal risks and the assistance and defense in the event of being involved in a criminal case.
