Litigation Lawyers
in Alicante

Litigation refers to the legal representation of a client in contentious proceedings before courts or administrative bodies. It becomes necessary when a legal dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation.

At Nutum Curia, we offer litigation services in civil, tax, and administrative law. We always aim to treat litigation as a last resort (for example, we prefer to act as civil law advisors in Alicante and draft contracts so solid that litigation becomes extremely rare), but when litigation is unavoidable, we are relentless.

In civil matters, you will likely need to litigate if you cannot reach an agreement with the other party. However, a formal claim submitted by a lawyer or the proposal of an alternative solution may help resolve the issue. In tax and administrative matters, litigation becomes necessary if you disagree with an official decision or tax assessment.

The process varies significantly depending on whether the case is in the civil or administrative domain. In civil litigation, it typically begins with the filing of a claim, followed by the request for evidence, a hearing or trial (if applicable), and concludes with a judgment, although an appeal may be possible. In the field of tax or administrative law, there is an initial phase known as the administrative procedure, during which the administration itself resolves the matter. If this phase ends without a satisfactory outcome, the case may be taken to court through the contentious-administrative process, which follows a structure similar to that of civil litigation.

The duration of litigation depends on several factors, such as the nature of the case, the workload of the courts and the actions of the parties involved. It can vary from a few months to several years. Unfortunately, there is often not much we can do to speed up the proceedings, so it is very often advisable to look outside the courts for solutions.

The costs may include attorney’s fees, court fees, expert witness costs, and other expenses related to the preparation and presentation of the case. At Nutum Curia, we will provide you with an estimated cost breakdown before initiating any legal proceedings, allowing you to make an informed decision. We will also inform you of any potential tax-related costs (as expected, given our expertise as tax lawyers in Alicante).

Yes, it is possible and often recommended. At Nutum Curia, we always strive to find solutions to resolve conflicts efficiently and effectively, which may include negotiations or alternative dispute resolution methods before resorting to trial.

It depends. Generally, you will need to provide all documentation related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, financial records, and any other relevant evidence. But don’t worry: Before we begin the process, following the initial consultation, we will tell you exactly what documentation we need and how to obtain it. If additional documentation is required during any phase of the process, we will request it at the appropriate time.

The main risk when starting a litigation process is the potential financial cost. Additionally, the outcomes can be unpredictable and may not be in your favour. To make matters worse, litigation can impact your personal or business relationships (as inheritance lawyers in Alicante, we have seen this frequently). It is important that we discuss these risks before making any decisions, so you can make an informed choice.

It is impossible to determine this in advance. Every case is unique, and the outcome may depend on many factors. At Nutum Curia, we conduct a thorough analysis to provide you with an honest assessment of your chances of success. You can be assured that we will not suggest going to trial unless we are confident in the case.

No, at Nutum Curia, we do not offer a free initial consultation. The first consultation costs €100, during which we assess your case and discuss possible courses of action.
