Employment, civil and family law, and claims against insurance companies: dismissals and claims for money owed, divorce, custody, inheritance, tenancies, voluntary jurisdiction proceedings and damage caused by traffic accidents or to homes.
Employment law
Dismissals and claims for money owed are what we see most. The deadline for a dismissal is particularly short and few people know it: you have twenty working days from the dismissal to challenge it, and after that the claim lapses with no remedy. Claims for money owed have longer than those twenty days (up to a year), but they should still be started as soon as possible. If you have been dismissed, the consultation is urgent even if it does not feel that way.
- Disciplinary and objective dismissals: challenges and negotiation.
- Claims for unpaid wages, overtime and miscalculated final settlements.
- Claims against the wage guarantee fund where an employer is insolvent.
- Workplace accidents, incapacity and social security benefits.
- Harassment and discrimination at work.
Civil and family
- Divorce and separation, by agreement and contested.
- Custody, contact arrangements and child maintenance.
- Inheritance, wills, declarations of heirs and estate division.
- Tenancy agreements, evictions and landlord–tenant claims.
- Debt claims and civil liability.
- Voluntary jurisdiction proceedings.
Insurance
- Claims against insurance companies.
- Damage caused by traffic accidents.
- Damage to homes.
- Damage to movable or immovable property.

Frequently asked questions
I have been dismissed. How long do I have to claim?
Twenty working days from the date of dismissal, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. It is a limitation period, which means that once it passes there is no way to recover it. If you have just been dismissed, do not wait to see what happens: the first consultation should be this week.
Can I apply for legal aid?
Yes, if your income is below the established thresholds. We explain how to apply and what documents you need even if we do not take the matter on. Not being able to pay a lawyer should not mean not claiming what you are owed.
Does divorce affect my residence card?
It can, if your authorisation derives from the marriage, and it is one of the situations where most people get an avoidable shock. There are cases in which residence is maintained, particularly where there are children in common or certain circumstances apply. It is worth analysing before signing the settlement agreement, not after.
