Protection & Just Compensation

Our firm's practice in this field focuses on securing just compensation and ensuring strict compliance with legal procedures in situations of public utility expropriation.

We represent clients in all phases of the expropriation process: from the administrative stage and "ad perpetuam rei memoriam" visual survey, to the arbitration phase and judicial proceedings (appealing the arbitration decision).

We advise property owners on the establishment of administrative easements (such as those for energy or sanitation grids) and in challenging public utility restrictions that affect property value or use.
